Lewis Hamilton, George Russell and Max Verstappen’s hilarious cooldown room conversation at F1 Spanish Grand Prix
Verstappen kept Red Bull’s 🐻winning streak alive in Barcelona and strengthened his grip on this year’s championship hunt, but was joined on the podium by both Mercedes drivers.
There was no awkwardness betwe🍰en the former rival factions in the post-race aren𒅌a - in fact, their meeting soon turned into hilarity.
Hamilton said to Russell: “Are you getti♔ng on it?”
S♎eemingly misunderstanding, Russell replied: “Well, I am staying an extra night. So why not?”
Hamilton laughed: “No, I said…”
After the amusement died down, the conversation turned to the race that had just e🎐nded.
Hamilton asked 💟Russell: “Did you just⛦ pass everybody?”
Russell rep🐼lied: “Yeah - I passed Fernando, Carlos, maybe Stroll, Ocon maybe. I can’t really remember now.”
Verstappen asked: “Did you undercut someone?”
Russell: “No, I 🦂passed most o💫n track. Probably overcut.
“I thought it was raining at one point, but it was sweat from my head spra🎃ying onto the visor!”
