Max's response (translated):"Charles did a great job, what a great battle. He is a very sensible driver, clearly a lot different to what I experienced last year," Hamilton told Sky Sports after the race.
"At Copse for example, the two of us went through there with no problem. What a battle. Really, really amazing weekend."
Thankfully this can be kept out of team threads. Putting this here to aid the quarantining"I think it's great that, when you are 37 years old, at some point you understand how to reach the apex. So he does learn."

"I think it's pretty amazing that at 37 years old, you know how to do an apex. He is learning, so that is positive.
It is also positive for young drivers that you keep learning when you are 37 years old. I think it's good that he has found the apex now.
"You can clearly see in the footage what was different. I think Charles gave him less space than I did last year, so that says it all.
In the end he was the one who got a penalty last year, so you don't need to talk about that anymore either."
With his comments Hamilton has brought up a matter that was long closed and that just before a race where 60,000 Dutch people are expected. It could lead to the boos this weekend that were also audible at Silverstone, but in reverse.
"He has to live with that," Verstappen said coolly. "I think it's a bit churlish. But ultimately that has nothing to do with my performance.
I just need to concentrate on what we're doing here and I think we're doing pretty well this year. That's what I'm working on."

Max Verstappen responds with laughter to HAM's comments after #BritishGP that LEC would be a wiser driver as now 2 drivers could get through Copse: "It is positive that as a driver at 37 you can still learn how to pass an apex..." #F1 #AustianGP
Max should note that the only person not able to go through Copse with Lewis is him. Lesson to learn, Max.
Officials thought otherwise.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑08 Jul 2022, 02:38Max is the only person unable to share Copse with Lewis. That suggests that the problem is with Max, not Lewis.
Like Verstappen said, finally Hamilton learnt how to hit apex, which was what Officials found was lagging last year.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑08 Jul 2022, 02:28Max should note that the only person not able to go through Copse with Lewis is him. Lesson to learn, Max.
The only crash was when Max was involved. Doesn't matter about officials - the fact is Lewis has been through Copse with other drivers without crashing. Only one turned in.silver wrote: ↑08 Jul 2022, 03:05Officials thought otherwise.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑08 Jul 2022, 02:38Max is the only person unable to share Copse with Lewis.

B. The contact was before the apex
