Max Verstappen suggested after the Hungarian Grand Prix that it was a 'startled' Lewis Hamilton that led to an FIA investigation for the Dutchman. On lap 29 of the race, Hamilton and Verstappen almost made contact when the four-time world champion attempted an audacious overtake on his old enemy, with Hamilton being forced onto the run-off area.

Max Verstappen's Red Bull team made its Lewis Hamilton was "scared off the track" before an FIA investigation.
