Anthony Hamilton watched the GT World Challenge race in Portimão from the Verstappen Racing garage. Before the race, Lewis Hamilton’s father told the event organiser that he had spoken with Max Verstappen and would be keeping an eye on him. Verstappen would start further back, Hamilton said, making for an interesting contest.
Verstappen later drove the closing stint and climbed from 24th to ninth. Verstappen Racing had fallen well back after teammate Chris Lulham received a drive-through penalty.
Hamilton praised the atmosphere and said he has had a home in Portugal for 25 years, describing the event as practically around the corner for him.
