Formula 1 driver George Russell has commented on world champion Max Verstappen’s behavior during their off-track encounters.
Previously, the British driver had requested race stewards to penalize the Red Bull racer during the Qatar Grand Prix. Verstappen, who recently secured his fourth Formula 1 title, made headlines with his comments.
Motorsport quotes Russell as saying:
I find it all quite ironic, considering Saturday night he said he’s going to purposely go out of his way to crash into me and, quote, ‘put me on my fucking head in the wall.’ People have been bullied by Max for years now, and you can’t question his driving abilities. But he cannot deal with adversity whenever anything has gone against him.
Fernando Alonso previously joked about Verstappen's controversial penalty in Qatar, while Alain Prost commented that Verstappen deserved all of his four titles.
