Fans targeted popular F1 presenter Martin Brundle as he discussed a fake quote about Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris that has been floating on social media. The quote is said to have originated from social media accounts and made it to a professional discussion.
The championship battle between McLaren and Red Bull peaked this season giving the fans a fresh fight for the first time since 2021. While the latter has now dropped to third in the Constructors' Championship, Max Verstappen is still leading the Drivers' title.
Amid this, a reportedly fake quote said to be from RBR's advisor Dr Helmut Marko spread on social media. It mentioned that if Lewis Hamilton was driving the McLaren instead of Lando Norris, Verstappen would have lost the title. However, this quote is fake and no such comment was originally shared.
