Verstappen clash with Russell at the start of the Baku Sprint Race: dispute. What happened – Corriere.it

That’s okay, but I don’t understand why taking so many risks in the first round. I have a hole in the side of my car. It doesn’t make sense what he did, he came on me. But that’s okay, we are third and they are good points. Now we focus on tomorrow.

Cos Max Verstappen

angrily comments on his third place in the sprint race of the Azerbaijan F1 Grand Prix, about contact with George Russell on the first lap. Before saying his in front of the microphones, the Dutchman went face to face with Russell to ask for explanationswith the Mercedes driver who tried to justify himself by bringing up the lack of grip: But at the beginning we all have little grip, the angry reply of the world champion, who then provokes: Will you do the same next time?. And at that point the Englishman walked away perhaps saying I have a helmet, I can’t hear.

Russell is not there: Correct move, Verstappen knows the risks

I thought Verstappen was complimenting me, but he was very angry. The position was mine because I was inside. Max knows the risks of being on the outside like he was on a track like this, plus it was the first lap and so I consider it a race contact. Compared to what could have happened, it also went well. Russell’s words in front of the microphones after the race.
