The 36-year-old, who collided with Verstappen at the British Grand Prix, felt "a lot of anger after the shunt" and blamed the Red Bull driver.
"I don't feel he needs to be aggressive as he is. I would never back down from anyone. I will not be bullied into being less aggressive," Hamilton said.
"We needed the points. He left a gap and I went for it. I'm not going to let anything get in the way of the crowd's enjoyment of the weekend and the national anthem and the British flag.
"It was so physical, chasing down Charles. I was giving absolutely everything, didn't know if my tyres were going to last."
Red Bull Racing-Honda are placed at the top of the Constructors' Championship standings and they were followed by Mercedes and McLaren-Mercedes respectively.
