The conversation in the post-race news conference about Vettel's error brought a pointed response from Red Bull's Max Verstappen, who finished second behind Hamilton and has now produced two flawless race weekends to end the run of errors that blighted his start to the season.
"Next time you see Seb you should ask him to change his style, y'know?" Verstappen said, in a sarcastic reference to many of the questions that have been directed at him this season. "Because, honestly, it's not acceptable.
"That's what they said to me at the beginning of the season, so I think they should do the same! And then, of course, Seb shouldn't do anything, and just drive again and learn from this and go on. That's my advice to everyone in this room."
His point was clear, and it is not hard to understand where he was coming from, or why he would say it. But the fact remains that at least one incident every single race for six weekends in a row is something a driver needs to attend to, even if he does not like to admit it.
