Max 'disappointed' by British GP boos | Hamilton: We're better than that

Max Verstappen was "disappointed" to be jeered once again by fans at the British Grand Prix after qualifying second for Sunday's race behind Ferrari's Carlos Sainz.

The world champion, who was noticeably booed by the sold-out Silverstone crowd when appearing on Sky's live F1 Show on Thursday night, was given an even louder negative reaction when being interviewed by Billy Monger after Saturday's action.

The world champion, who won his maiden title last season following a fierce rivalry with home favourite Lewis Hamilton and a controversial decider in Abu Dhabi, accepts that some British supporters don't like him, but he is refusing to let it impact his weekend.

"It was a bit disappointing because I couldn't really understand Billy," he joked after the session.

"If they want to boo, they do it. I'm always happy to be here, it's a great track, and a great atmosphere in general.

"Maybe some of them don't like me, they're all entitled to their own opinions. I don't care."

Speaking after Saturday's crowd response, Hamilton, who was involved in an infamous collision with Verstappen at this venue last season, called on fans to stop booing the Red Bull driver.

"I think we're better than that. I would say we don't need to do booing," he said.

"We've got such great fans. Our sporting fans, they feel emotions up and down. But I don't I definitely don't agree with booing. I don't think we need to do that.

"We should be here, pushing everybody. I really do appreciate the support that I have here. Maybe some of them are feeling the pain from last year still. Either way, I appreciate it."

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff agreed, saying: "I think we shouldn't be seeing any booing in any sports, I think that's unsportsmanlike.
