There are a lot of hypocrites in the world: Max Verstappen

Lewis Hamilton had attended the New York Met Gala two days after the accident. According to Max Verstappen, one cannot fly to another country and attain an event if they had sustained injuries. His attendance at the Met Gala proves that he was absolutely fine.

“I mean, there are a lot of hypocrites in the world that’s for sure,” Max Verstappen said, 
I mean, I jumped out of the car, I looked to the left and he’s of course still trying to reverse, shaking the wheel, trying to get under away under my car so I think he was absolutely fine.”

“Also, flying to America on Monday or Tuesday to attend a Gala, I think you only do that if you feel fine so I think already there, everything was all under control.” [H/T Independent]
