Lewis Hamilton has said the British crowd is 'better than that' after they booed Max Verstappen following Saturday's qualifying session.
“We have such great fans, our sporting fans feel emotions up and down, but I definitely don’t agree with booing. I don’t think we need to do that.
“I think we should be here pushing everybody. It doesn’t make any difference when you boo someone, they’ve already made the mistake, or whatever it is. “But I really do appreciate the support I have here. Maybe some of them are still feeling the pain from last year, still.” His boss Toto Wolff agreed that it was not needed and said that if you did not like a driver then it was “best to remain silent.”“It’s clear we love the support the drivers have here and the enthusiasm, that’s fantastic. But if you are not into the other guys I think it’s best to remain silent. I think that’s the best way.Verstappen will start P2 in Sunday’s race while Hamilton is behind him in fifth position.
