George Russell feels Max Verstappen 'let himself down' with his comments after their battle and collision in the Baku sprint. georgerussell MaxVerstappen RedBull Formula1 f1

George Russell felt Max Verstappen ‘let himself down’ with Baku commentsMax Verstappen did not hide his frustrations with George Russell after their Baku sprint collision, and Russell feels the Red Bull driver did not do himself justice with some of his comments in the aftermath.

With Russell having been unable to make the pass on Verstappen at Turn 2 when they made contact, the Mercedes driver tried again at the following corner, this time completing the overtake, though in Verstappen’s mind, he did so without leaving him a fair amount of racing room. With Verstappen in no mood to accept that as an excuse, Russell walked away as Verstappen told him to “expect next time the same”, finishing by calling Russell a “d**khead”.

To that latter part, Verstappen quipped: “It’s not allowed because Princess George is there? That’s ultimately his problem!”
