Damon Hill took to social media following the Italian Grand Prix and Max Verstappen’s victory.
Damon Hill has praised Max Verstappen as the “driver of this age,” shifting from his previous harsh criticism following Verstappen’s victory at the Italian Grand Prix.
Verstappen’s win at Monza, his first since Imola, came after a fair battle against the dominant McLarens, even before their late race team order confusion occurred.
Hill, the 1996 champion, had earlier condemned Verstappen for his aggressive driving in incidents with Lando Norris at the 2024 Mexico City Grand Prix, resulting in time penalties and penalty points.
Referring to Verstappen as “Dick Dastardly,” akin to the iconic Wacky Races villain, Hill’s tone changed after Verstappen’s Monza triumph, leading him to speak highly of the Dutch driver.
