I’ve got some bad news – it looks like Max Verstappen hasn’t announced any exciting personal news recently. In fact, the latest news surrounding him is quite the opposite. He’s been involved in a heated controversy with fellow driver George Russell, which has been making headlines in the F1 world.
The drama started at the Qatar Grand Prix, where Verstappen was handed a one-place grid penalty for driving unnecessarily slowly on a cooldown lap in Q3, which Russell felt had impeded him. Verstappen was furious with the decision and accused Russell of trying to “screw him over” in the stewards’ room. He even went as far as to say that he had “lost all respect” for Russell ¹ ².
Russell has since fired back at Verstappen, accusing him of “crossing a line” and being a “bully”. He also alleged that Verstappen had threatened to crash into him during the Qatar Grand Prix, which Verstappen has denied ² ³.
It’s clear that the relationship between these two drivers has broken down, and it’s not clear what the future holds for their rivalry. One thing’s for sure, though – the tension between them is palpable, and it’s going to be interesting to see how it all plays out in the upcoming Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Would you like me to provide more updates on the Verstappen-Russell controversy or the upcoming Abu Dhabi Grand Prix?
