The Red Bull appeal failed - which shouldn't be a surprise.

Hamilton was asked to compare his action against Verstappen and Charles Leclerc. Hamilton refused.

"I can certainly explain it, but I'm not going to," he said.

"I've been racing for over 20 years," Hamilton continued. "I know how to navigate through corners and do overtaking manoeuvres and so I'm not going to waste my energy explaining it. But it will certainly be difficult for people to fully understand."
