Max Verstappen's dad, Jos, makes a brutal comment targeted at seven-time F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton amid an intense title race.
With Hamilton garnering a pole position for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, the F1 title race against Verstappen intensifies as the latter only holds a slim 8-point lead. While the rival pair have experienced multiple battles throughout the season, it seems that Verstappen's father isn't too jolly thinking about Hamilton.

“I never speak to Lewis,’ says Jos. ‘He doesn’t need to speak to me. I’m nothing to him. I respect him as a driver, but the rest… nothing.”
“Max and Lewis only speak on the podium, very little. When I see Max with other drivers, I think they get on very well. But with Lewis nothing. Lewis is in his own world,” the former F1 driver stressed.
Specifically, Jos mentions the crash at Silverstone while Max was at the hospital; Lewis rejoiced as he won the race, suggesting a lack of concern for the injured dutchman.
“I don’t like his attitude. I don’t like how he behaved, starting at Silverstone. One of the drivers was in the hospital and they are on the podium celebrating as if they’[d] won the world championship.”
As F1 fans witness one of the most intense conclusions to a season, who will emerge as the champion? Will it be Hamilton's eighth, or will Verstappen make a mark in his legacy by winning his first?
