'He has fought drivers hard his entire career, but he doesn’t like being raced hard himself, particularly not when he’s fighting for a Championship.' MaxVerstappen RedBull F1 Formula1
F1 presenter Will Buxton believes Max Verstappen criticising George Russell’s robust approach to combat in the Baku sprint was a “a bit rich” coming from him.
Russell’s attempt to pass Verstappen at Turn 2 would result in a collision between the pair, one which both cars seemingly had escaped from unscathed, before Russell then completed the move on an already frustrated Verstappen at Turn 3, which only served to anger Verstappen more as he felt Russell had run him out of road.
And after finishing the sprint in P3, Verstappen proceeded to confront Russell and vent his frustrations over the incident, signing off by calling him a “d**khead”. And for Verstappen to be taking issue with Russell’s abrasive approach to wheel-to-wheel racing, is in Buxton’s opinion, a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
