Verstappen: Reaction to media reports of his ignoring team orders are 'threatening my sister and my mum, my girlfriend, my dad.'
Red Bull insists it had"not agreed a strategy" prior to the F1 Brazilian Grand Prix race that involved Max Verstappen moving over for Sergio Perez.
"This put Max, who has always been an open and fair team player, in a compromising situation with little time to react which was not our intention," Red Bull Racing added.Two-time F1 world champion Verstappen, however, is furious that the episode made him look"very bad" as a team player—and hit out at the media for fanning the flames of subsequent abuse.
"As I said before, I'm not going into details," Verstappen said."We keep it between the team and myself. It wasn't about first or second or sixth or seventh or tenth," he said."It was about something that happened earlier in the season and I already explained that in Mexico and the team understood and agreed. But you don't know the real story so you don't need to write the story.
