The pathetic circus witnessed during the qualifying session of the Qatari Grand Prix did not go unnoticed, where Max Verstappen, who secured pole position, was penalized for something utterly ridiculous.
Of course, Verstappen did not let it go and reclaimed his position from George Russell right at the start, whom he later brutally criticized in the media. Well, not without reason...
"I have never seen such an attitude from any driver before, and the fact that someone fights with such passion for the other to be penalized. What happened between us was during a simple slow lap, where he just needed to lift off the throttle, and that’s it. With this logic, in the future, anyone, even the entire field, could be penalized... In fact, this is just the icing on the cake; it was his behavior that completely discredited him in my eyes. He plays the good guy in front of the public and the cameras, but behind the scenes, he presents himself as a completely different person. It’s ridiculous what he’s doing; I detest this kind of behavior, and I don’t want anything to do with Russell. He can shove it!!" – Max Verstappen got quite worked up.
Whom do you side with?
