Verstappen didn't feel like 'screwing' Hamilton over FP2 incident
Max Verstappen chose not to try and "screw" Lewis Hamilton by unduly blaming the Mercedes driver during the pair's hearing with the stewards on Friday following their incident in FP2.
In yesterday's second free practice session, Hamilton slid off the track as Turn 3 and then rejoined on the inside of Turn 4 as Verstappen was entering the corner, forcing the Red Bull driver to take evasive action.
The incident was later investigated by the stewards, with many believing Hamilton would be the one on the receiving end of a penalty, two weeks after Sebastian Vettel's controversial punishment following his mistake in Montreal.
Ultimately, Hamilton - who claimed not the have seen Verstappen in his mirrors - was left off the hook by the stewards. A decision based on common sense that the Dutchman felt perfectly comfortable with.
"When something like that happens, I'm not going to make any problems out of it," Verstappen told Dutch TV broadcaster Ziggo Sport.
"In the end we don't fight with them anyway. If it's for the championship or if you expect to really fight with Mercedes this weekend, then you maybe try and screw them.
"But I don't feel like doing that at this moment."
"It's just the decent thing to not whine about it like ‘yes, he held me up’," he added.
"It can happen, that he doesn't see you in the mirrors, because you could see that he was looking.
"But those mirrors aren't very big and that part of the track is very wide. So he wasn't able to see me in the mirror."
