Lewis Hamilton joked Max Verstappen could have a “smoke and a pancake” when asked if the Red Bull driver is finding F1 too easy this season.
Lewis Hamilton quoted from “Austin Powers: Goldmember” to poke fun at how dominant Max Verstappen is in Formula One this season.
Verstappen breezed to an eighth straight race win at the Belgian Grand Prix, one away from Sebastian Vettel’s record of nine consecutive.
Asked Sunday evening if Verstappen is having it too easy, Hamilton said: “What do you want me to say?! I haven’t spoken to him.”
“He’s having a smoke and a pancake,” Hamilton quipped, a quote from Michael Myers’ character in the movie.
Verstappen was so comfortable out in front he was able to have some back and forth with his race engineer Ganpiero Lambaise.
At one stage during a tetchy exchange, Verstappen said he might stop again to give his Red Bull team pit stop practice.
