DAVID BECKHAM has been snapped in the Red Bull garage alongside the car of his long-time pal Lewis Hamilton’s rival Max Verstappen. And the relationship between Verstappen and Hamilton has soured drastically throughout the season as the two battle it out for this year’s championship. Becks’ support of Verstappen and Red Bull could anger his friend Hamilton, who started the Qatar GP on pole after some phenomenal driving in qualifying before tearing to a briolliant victory. Verstappen has been handed a five-place grid penalty for ignoring double yellow flag warnings, handing Hamilton a major title boost. Verstappen started the Qatar GP 14 points clear of Hamilton in the drivers’ standings and was desperate for a win with just three races to go.
