Fans react to Hamilton's RECORD-BREAKING fight with Verstappen

Formula 1 fans once again hailed Lewis Hamilton as the Greatest of All Time (GOAT) with the Briton's 200th podium finish at the Hungarian Grand Prix.

Hamilton improved on his own podium record to make history in Hungary, moving further clear of Michael Schumacher on 155, Sebastian Vettel on 122 and even Max Verstappen on 107 podiums.

A crash between Verstappen and Hamilton saw the Dutch driver leave the track, allowing the Mercedes man to carry on and finish in the top three once more.

Ahead of Verstappen and Hamilton, there was further drama as Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris followed McLaren team orders for a one-two finish which left Norris frustrated that he was not the driver that finished first.

Despite that drama, racing fans on X - the community known as F1 Twitter - were more concerned with praising Hamilton and crowning him the GOAT of Formula 1 once more.
