The lamentable circus seen in qualifying for the Qatar Grand Prix has not gone unnoticed, where Max Verstappen, who achieved pole position, was penalized for something completely ridiculous.
Of course, Verstappen didn't leave things at that, and at the start, he regained the position from George Russell, whom he later fiercely criticized in the media. Well, not without reason...
"I've never seen a driver with such an attitude before, someone fighting so passionately to get another driver penalized. What happened between us was on a slow lap, where he should have just lifted his foot off the accelerator, and that's it. By this standard, anyone could be penalized in the future, even the entire grid... Actually, this is just the icing on the cake; his behavior was what really discredited him in my eyes. In front of the public and in front of the cameras, he acts like the good guy, but behind the scenes, he comes across as a completely different person. What he's doing is ridiculous. I hate this kind of behavior. I want nothing to do with Russell. He can stick it where the sun doesn't shine!" – Max Verstappen raged.
Who do they agree with?
