When Elle Brooke said that Lewis Hamilton is her favorite F1 driver and expressed her dislike for Max Verstappen - "Verstappen fans are so angry"

Social media star-turned-professional boxer Elle Brooke is an avid sports fan and religiously follows many different sports. In 2023, Brooke picked her side in the fierce F1 rivalry between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen.

In a short social media video, Brooke said that Hamilton is her favorite F1 driver. The boxer then expressed her thoughts on Verstappen, acknowledging that her remarks would anger the Belgian-Dutch star's fans. Brooke said:

"Lewis Hamilton. We hate Verstappen. Well, [Max] Verstappen fans are so angry. Like, obviously. Yes, he's really good. But I've always been a Hamilton fan."

Catch Elle Brooke's comments below:

Hamilton is one of the most accomplished drivers in F1 history. He holds the records for most world championships (7), wins (103), pole positions (104), and podium finishes (197) as well as the record for most races as championship leader (126).

Hamilton has represented the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport team since 2017 and won the Formula 1 world championship six times in the last 10 years. At the time of this writing, he holds the No. 8 position in the 2024 F1 World Championship.

Meanwhile, 26-year-old Verstappen is a relative youngster who has taken the Formula 1 world by storm and won the World Championship from 2021 to 2023. He seems to be heading to another victory at No.1 spot.
