“You guys ar𓆏e෴ fast,” Hamilton said in the Budapest cooldown room.
“Yeah, well you had a fast ca💃r seven years ago,” Norris retorted꧙.
Hamilton replied: “Seven years ago? That’s a long tim🀅e. Were you even here seven years a🐎go?”
To whicᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚh, Norris added: “Well you had it. You had a quick car. Youಞ made the most of it. Now it’s us.”
But the seไven-time world champion downplayed t☂he awkward exchange in his media session on Thursday ahead of this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix.
“It didn’t bother me, no,” Hamilton expla𒊎ined. “Look, I’m nearly 40 years old, so I reme♉mber being in my mid-twenties and I remember, when I go back and look at things that I said that I would have said differently or I would have reacted differently.
“I noticed, when you come out of the race, when you feel like you should have won, your emotions are firing. So I see that and I’m like, it’s an age thing and I don’t take it personally. And I think ultimately, al🥃l us drivers, all us competitors, we do put a lot of pressure on ourselves. That’s how we do what we෴ do.

“So I don’t think you can🔯 be particularly gre🐲at without putting pressure on yourself. You’ve got to aim high and if you fail and you’re like, that’s the greatest thing ever and you’re really relaxed about it, I don’t think you’re ever going to naturally achieve what you intend to achieve.
“Can you be too hard on yourself🦄? For sure. There was a time when I didn’t leave my room for three days when I was his age, so I know what it’s like. And that wasn’t healthy for me, but I don’t think I’ve ever looked at myself in the mirror for thre🐠e days at the moment.
“I hope he doesn’t. I thinkღ what’s important is that we continue to do what we’re d𒊎oing. The drivers are great. They’ve got a great car.”
Hamilton๊ was then asked if he thought McLaren’s decision to instruct Norris to give up the lead to Piastri was the right call.
“It’s n🅺ot my call to make,” he stressed. “I mean, if that was Max, he wouldn’t have let him pass. I don’t know what to 𒉰say. It’s not for me to decide.
“If I was in that situation, I would do what the team asked me to do, as hard as it is. Ultimately, because it’s not about you. It’s about the 2,000 people﷽ that you’re representing and working with.”
