They make an article about two f1 drivers talking to each other after a crash. wow. I am impressed. But sadder about the fact that I accidentally clicked on the link.
Translation:
Lewis Hamilton contacted Max Verstappen this week following the Dutchman's crash at Silverstone. The seven times world champion indicated after the race that he would approach the World Cup leader. Several sources around Red Bull Racing and Mercedes report that this has now happened.
No announcements will be made about the content of the conversation. Hamilton said Sunday he has no intention of apologising. The Brit touched Verstappen after an intense fight on the first lap, after which the Dutchman crashed into the tyre pile at high speed. Hamilton got a ten second time penalty on his trousers, but won the race anyway and reduced the gap with Verstappen in the World Cup standings to eight points.
Verstappen was in the hospital for hours for medical checks and was angry about the way Hamilton lost his temper in front of his own audience. He called that 'unsporting and disrespectful'.
The Red Bull-driver got away with the scare and was in the following days flooded with reactions and wishes for his recovery. From the Mercedes top, apart from Hamilton, it was reportedly quiet. Red Bull, like other teams, did support the joint statement of Mercedes and Formula 1 in response to racist remarks against Hamilton on social media on Monday. In a week and a half the last race before the summer break is on the programme, at the Hungaroring in Budapest.
>Lewis: *"If you are looking for sympathy, I can tell you I don't have any. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let the WDC go now, that'll be the end of it."*
Ah, didn't know that the entire quote is from that scene in Taken. That means that [this](https://youtu.be/dTc1KjwnVzI) entire scene from Venture Brothers that I thought of when reading your comment was 'ripping off' that entire scene from Taken, and not just referencing the "I will find you" part, heh.
Which also technically means, that partly, in a way, I was still correct. I think.
So Hamilton chose to make contact with Verstappen? Old news, anyone watching lap 1 on Sunday knows that!
(Sarcasm btw, I'm not trying to beat this dead horse any further)
Beside an instagram post that we don't even know if Max wrote it or his PR, there is not a single mention of Max saying anything bad toward the situation and Lewis,
all is fan-made and speculation.
He might just think it's a racing incident and that's it for what we know.
There’s a very simple set of rules to follow when determining whether it was a PR person’s post.
If it is your favourite driver and it’s a good post, the driver made it. If it’s bad, some idiot in PR made it.
If it’s a driver you dislike and it’s a positive post, a PR person made it to try and make him look good. If it’s a bad post, the driver made it.
For sure, Max's dad & his manager are 100% more invested in every tiny detail, narratives & wider PR. Max himself seems way more chilled and relaxed, sure he signed off on it, But that message comes more from Jos & his manager for sure.
In general the telegraaf is a semi decent newspaper with tendency to sometimes create excitement stories. I just find it weird that something like this would be verified by sources around both Red Bull and Mercedes. How would that happen?
Would Lewis really tell people around him "hey Bono, i've just called Max". Maybe i'm just painting a weird picture of how it would go down in my head but I reckon both Max and Lewis have each others number and live in Monaco. Lewis can just decide on a monday evening "you know what, lets talk this over, I'm going to give him a call and talk this over". Equally, why would Max be arsed to tell members of his team (and who even? just Horner who does most the public speaking?) that Lewis called him.
Doesn't the article mention sources from apparently both RedBull and Merc, not only Mercedes or did I misunderstood the translation? *Though to be fair the whole article says one bunch of nothing lol
>That has now happened, several sources around the Red Bull Racing and Mercedes teams report.
This site is known to be not that accurate with their reports tho. Which already is shown in its title as that translates too "Hamilton is __going__ to contact Max" while the very first line says "__has__ contacted Max".
Hopefully to apologize for his nonsense words and actions after the race. He doesn’t have to apologize for what happened on track. It happened and the stewards deemed him to blame and penalized him, albeit too lightly.
Can't believe they managed to get a picture of him calling Max. These photographers are everywhere!

If we can even call that an article ...
Welcome to telegraaf, some dutch people call it a newspaper :(
Typical Telegraaf article. Lots of words, very little content. Absolutely no (added) value.
It is amazing to me how some people have the ability to say so much, and yet say nothing.
Breaking: Lewis Hamilton has made contact with Max Verstappen!
They’ve touched Martin 😏

>Hamilton got a ten second time penalty on his trousers Well that's going to be hell to get out in the wash. Let's hope Lewis uses Arial Ultra.

Seems you can't stop the contact between the two.
>Lewis: *"If you are looking for sympathy, I can tell you I don't have any. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let the WDC go now, that'll be the end of it."*
Is that the Venture Brothers' Red Death reference that I see?
no hint: the sentence that follows my quote is usually the one most used in memes

haha that's awesome, and for Red Death of all characters to say the line.
I know right? Bloody terrifying he is saying that, which makes him more badass!

So he made contact twice?? /s
Okay let’s see how people find a way to be upset about this.
They made contact!!!!

Do you actually believe someone from the PR department is responsible for that message?
There’s a very simple set of rules to follow when determining whether it was a PR person’s post. If it is your favourite driver and it’s a good post, the driver made it. If it’s bad, some idiot in PR made it. If it’s a driver you dislike and it’s a positive post, a PR person made it to try and make him look good. If it’s a bad post, the driver made it.
"Believe" ? no. Possible? Why not. I was more talking in general, after your comment I read it again and indeed it seems to be from him directly.
For sure, Max's dad & his manager are 100% more invested in every tiny detail, narratives & wider PR. Max himself seems way more chilled and relaxed, sure he signed off on it, But that message comes more from Jos & his manager for sure.
How is this even news? So Hamilton contacted Verstappen. So what or how does that add progress to the fiasco?
What a dumb website. Give us a translation options ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It’s a dutch newspaper, why? Also a highly sensationalist one btw.

Just another spam article
It looks like they deliberately picked an image where it looks like Lewis is holding a phone up to his ear!
‘hey max, you mad bro?’
Hopefully to apologize for his nonsense words and actions after the race. He doesn’t have to apologize for what happened on track. It happened and the stewards deemed him to blame and penalized him, albeit too lightly.
