Otherwise said, Verstappen was asked by the journalist whether the issues he radioed during the race (stronger winds at some section of the Silverstone circuit affecting the car's driving dynamics + soft tyres not living up to his expectations) were of significant or considerable level/degree. Why the heck is that video labeled "fake radio messages" (i.e. questioning the veracity about those messages) and Hamilton "calling out" ? Verstappen did neither say nor suggest that the referenced messages were "fake". Same applies in Dutch: if you're asked whether an issue is "ernstig" ("serious"), your reply "nee, niet ernstig" ("no, not serious") is just explaining the level of seriousness. That is something totally different than replying that it was fake, made up (i.e. unrelated to facts). And Hamilton did not "call out" - he just jokingly asked whether Verstappen used F-expletives with those radio messages.
Same goes if an ER doctor who earlier radioed to the hospital about injuries sustained by a driver involved in a car accident, is later asked whether the sustained injuries were "serious". If the ER doctor replies: "No, these were not serious. But I like to report these things to the hospital", he is not saying that his earlier radio message was "fake".
The person who created the video title either doesn't sufficiently master English or acts in bad faith ('framing' by use of a misleading video title to incite negative reactions, getting views and likes).
IMHO the video rather shows that Verstappen and Hamilton get along better than what some think.
