- Verstappen: ‘For me, I lost all respect … I can’t stand that’
- Red Bull driver wins race after incident in qualifying
Max Verstappen issued a blunt condemnation of his fellow driver George Russell stating he had “lost all respect” for him after the pair were involved in an incident during qualifying for the Qatar Grand Prix. Verstappen considered that Russell had tried to “screw me over” with the stewards and the pair exchanged words about it before the race at the Lusail circuit on Sunday.
Verstappen won the race in Qatar but afterwards his anger with Russell was direct. After qualifying Verstappen had been penalised for driving unnecessarily slowly and impeding Russell. Both drivers had been summoned to the stewards to give their sides of the incident and Russell’s behaviour had left Verstappen incensed.
