[@ErikvanHaren] Max Verstappen responds to Lewis Hamilton's statements about teammates: "Maybe Lewis is a little jealous of my current success. I think it's hard for Mercedes to deal with a loss after all these years of winning so much."

I don’t think the comments from toto and lewis are meant to be a factual statements for posterity.

It’s childish jabs at Red Bull and Max.

If there are any fans of mercedes and/or lewis reading this, this is why so many despise that team and driver. The whining, the misrepresentation, the inability to let another team or driver be a success and let them have their glory. That particular corner of F1 is a toilet which overflows at times. Such a sad spectacle they make of themselves.

Lol, all teams moan when there's a dominant team, that's F1.

As if RB or any other team didn't moan 2014-2020

Fans that despise another team are obviously newbies, this isn't football, it's F1. It's okay to be an F1 fan, and support the racing, they put their lives on the line for our entertainment. Seems a little churlish to get upset.

I agree, all teams moan when there is a dominant team. Right now just anout all teams bemoan the dominance of RB, completely understand.

The comments from toto and lewis are not moaning though. Those are child like jabs to diminish what another team has achieved. It goes from ‘christ, can we have another winner for once?’ to ‘the achievements of team XYZ are unimpressive and quite possibly questionable’

But if you cannot see the difference between these then…lol away my dear F1 fan.

Lol, they are jabs. You said it yourself.

Max responded, jab landed.

I see no difference to any other jabs, maybe it's you that can't see the difference my dear

Fine, like I said, not going to change your particular mind, makes no sense to me. You do you.

my dear And that's where you went a bit weird tbh. I am not your 'dear'. Find someone that likes or loves you and call them 'my dear'. But perhaps this is why you cannot see the difference in statements? But again, no need to respond, you do you.

My dear F1 fan

I suspected you were being a condescending prick so responded accordingly.

If not, my apologies

Otherwise, jog on

Do you mean like the shit stirring master Christian Horner, who told in drive to survive ice cold that “it’s only funny when Toto gets riled up”? Because compared to that Mercedes is absolutely down right civil.

Sure it sounds a bit moany, doesn’t mean he isn’t right after ha ing paired with 3 world champions. Not to mention to have his 8th world title to be stolen (not just by the bullshit call in the last 3 laps of the last race) but also by max just crashing him out when max couldn’t compete.

Helmut Marko also just say what’s on his mind, do you see that as childish jabs as well?

Maybe try not to take the little jabs from millionaire drivers amongst each other as personal insult and just enjoy the sport.

Well, you sound very bitter. Not going to argue with you as you make some weird claims and statements and I will not validate your delusional ideas in any way.

Have a nice evening!
