Ralf Schumacher is not pleased with the statements and behavior of Lewis Hamilton on Mercedes in Monza. According to the former driver, Hamilton and his team were Max Verstappen “too dramatic.”
Verstappen and Hamilton are involved in a fierce title battle this season, which sometimes goes against the grain. The two drivers are clearly not afraid to take a risk every now and then, although sometimes things go wrong. The same goes for the Italian Grand Prix. Halfway through the race Hamilton came out of the pit lane when he ran into Verstappen on the track. The two competitors went through the corner side by side, after which Verstappen ended up on top of Hamilton’s car. After the race, Hamilton noted that his neck and head were severely affected by the crash. However, according to Ralf Schumacher, he dramatized this enormously.

The former driver believes that Hamilton has gone too far by suggesting that he was actually injured in the incident with Verstappen. “I think Lewis was over-dramatizing it, as he did fly to New York the next day to attend an event,” he told IPS. Sport 1. With this, the German is referring to Hamilton’s presence at the Met Gala in New York, an event that was held the day after the Italian Grand Prix.

Wolff protects Hamilton
Schumacher is also not pleased with the way Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff presents himself in discussions about the British driver. According to the 46-year-old, Hamilton is too often protected by Wolff. “If there is any criticism, Toto comes right up and says: ‘That’s not how you talk about a seven-time world champion,’ Schumacher concludes.”
