Formula One fans hit out at Red Bull's Max Verstappen on social media for nearly causing yet another crash between him and Lewis Hamilton by forcing him out wide at the Brazilian Grand Prix.
Reigning F1 champion Hamilton sealed a stunning comeback victory in Sao Paulo on Sunday, fighting back from tenth in the grid at the start of the race to finish at the head of the podium and keep his title chances alive.
The Mercedes driver finally overtook Verstappen on lap 59 but the drama came 11 laps earlier when the Red Bull racer forced Hamilton off the track when the latter threatened to get around him.

Both drivers left the track before speeding back on course, but Formula One fans blamed Verstappen for more dangerous driving that led to another crash between the title rivals.
One fan reacted by saying: 'Idiots will actually say verstappen is a good racer... he can't hack being wheel to wheel so forces cars off track...'
Another tweeted: 'Verstappen is the biggest unsportsman like driver in F1. Clearly beaten and to save position forces Lewis off wide. Show replay of cockpit.'
Meanwhile, one fan said: 'Verstappen YET again forces Hamilton of the track last he crashes into him how many times is this driver gonna get away with this? didn't look like he made an attempt make the corner. losing a lot of respect with Horner'
