The sad circus witnessed in qualifying for the Qatar Grand Prix, where Max Verstappen, who had taken pole position, was penalised for something completely ridiculous, did not pass without leaving a trace.
Of course, Verstappen didn’t let it slide and right at the start he took back the position from George Russell, whom he then brutally criticized also in the media. Well, not without reason…
“I have never seen such an attitude from a driver before, and the fact that someone fights with such passion so that the other is penalised. What happened between us was on a simple slow lap, where he should have just taken his foot off the accelerator, and that was it. With this logic, in the future you could penalise anyone, even the entire field… Actually, this is just the icing on the cake, his behaviour is what has completely disappointed me. In front of the public and the cameras he behaves like a good guy, but behind the scenes he presents himself as a completely different person. It is ridiculous what he does, I hate this kind of behaviour, I want nothing to do with Russell. He can go to hell!!” – fumed Max Verstappen.
Who do you agree with?
