Just like Max Verstappen his father Jos is not happy about the way Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes celebrated their victory at the Silverstone circuit. Verstappen sr. reacts with anger on social media.

"Wauuwww Mercedes. What a photo. And the other driver is in hospital," Jos Verstappen wrote on Twitter an hour after the British Grand Prix. Hamilton's victory meant that Verstappen's lead in the World Championship disappeared into thin air. The seven-time world champion now only needs eight points to regain the lead.

The tweet has been deleted by the former Formula 1 driver, but it is clear that Hamilton's action has angered the Verstappen family.
