Verstappen investigated for Hamilton incident

During the meeting with the stewards, Hamilton did not show. Afterwards, it was announced that Verstappen would not be penalised.

Hamilton hailed as the 'GOAT' after negative comments 

Hamilton's previous team principal, Toto Wolff, described him as the 'greatest of all time' or GOAT after being asked about his negative comments. After Saturday's qualifying, Hamilton said that he was useless and should be replaced. It was not only Wolff who came to Hamilton's defence, but also Hamilton's teammate Leclerc and his team principal Vasseur.

Vasseur said that Hamilton was "frustrated but not demotivated.". Hamilton himself told fans to "not count him out" after his bad race results.
