Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton fought a very heated battle for the world championship in 2021, but their relationship seems to have improved since then.
On social media, there is a massive reaction to footage of a beautiful moment between the two greats. The only problem is, the Red Bull driver in question is Sergio Pérez.
