As Verstappen sat down to speak to the press, he caused Hamilton to sit up, ending his chill-out session. 

The Dutchman jokingly remarked, "Oh, lovely. He's clearly getting old... clearly getting a bit old. Get a massage." 

Hamilton chuckled in response before preparing himself to speak to the media.

Despite the playful interruption, it was a positive day for Hamilton, who believes he and the Mercedes team are making significant progress as the season progresses. 

Reflecting on the race, Hamilton commented, "It has been a good day, a solid weekend. I have to say a big thank you to the team as they have been training so hard. The strategy and the pitstops were really on point."

The exchange provided a humorous respite from the intensity of the race weekend.
