“Honestly, [it was] very disappointing because I think we’re all here, we respect each other a lot and of course, I’ve been in that meeting room many times in my life, in my career, with people that I’ve raced and I’ve never seen someone trying to screw someone over that hard. And that for me… I lost all respect.”
Speaking to Dutch TV station Viaplay, Verstappen added: "He always acts extremely polite in front of the cameras but if you sit together with him personally, he’s a completely different person.
“I truly can’t stand that. Then you might as well get lost. I don’t want anything to do with you.”
Yeah, this weekend was a bit off the rails from that perspective.
Max is one to talk, with the harping on Lando not lifting under SC, but I agree these stewards didn’t do a good job with George/him in quali either
Well Lando was only 1 second behind Max all of a sudden because he didn’t lift, during the race. Different from the George situation not on a fast lap during quali. Then again the 10 second stop and go for Lando was a bit too much imo. Inconsistency remains key with the stewards.
And Max only asked his engineer if Lando lifted or not.
The FiA is in a bizarre “show of force” period with MBS throwing his weight around in the FiA and the race director/stewards suddenly ruling with an iron fist.
I hope they get this nonsense figured out before it does lasting damage to the sport.
Im fed up frankly. I dont know if I want to keep watching a sport that is so inconsistent and i wouldnt be surprised if there are others like me
I think Im gonna take up watching cricket
