Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas caught off guard by Max Verstappen comment

“Is that right? I don’t think that’s the case,” he said.

Bottas then joined in and explained his surprise: “Honestly, I wasn’t aware that the engine was turned down.

“I can’t really say much. I don’t know if it was how much it was. So, I don’t know.

“Red Bull was obviously quicker and for the first time this year they have such a gap on the race pace against us so… not much more to say.”

Hamilton added: “Same really. I don’t… naturally, when we go back now we will ask about it because I wasn’t aware of that, personally.
