    I think it’s more that he doesn’t like when the other driver doesn’t just yield and let him pass. Lewis is one of a few drivers (Also Norris in Austria) that will fight hard with Verstappen, even giving him a taste of his own medicine sometimes.

      It felt more like complete frustration of a strategy that he said would be terrible before the race even started. Then it turned out to be terrible, then your team argues for the terrible strategy.

      Max is hot heated, but why add fuel to that fire? Those radio responses, great way to get an angrier racing driver.

      Even in this race some drivers got heated, then their racing engineer calmed them down. E.g. “yeah you made your point, now let’s focus on the race” or something.
