Controversy erupted over the weekend over Red Bull forgetting the Brazilian Grand Prix
Max Verstappen was criticized today by teammate Sergio Perez who finished seventh. The Mexican, remember, fought with Charles Leclerc for second place in the drivers’ championship, but the Dutchman did not give up sixth place for the Mexican.
“It shows who he really is! I’m so surprised, after all I’ve done for him. If he has two world championships, he owes it to me,” said the Mexican Reds Bull, referring to Max Verstappen.
The team would ask the two-time champion to switch positions with Perez again, but Max wasn’t around to make adjustments. “I already told you last summer not to ask me about it and I explained my reasons,” Verstappen said over the radio.
The director of the same team, Briton Christian Horner, will apologize to the Mexican over the radio. “Thank you guys,” Perez replied, resigning. “It just shows who he really is.”
With these results, Max Verstappen, already the champion, reached 429 points, while Perez and Leclerc reached the final, in Abu Dhabi, with a tie with 290 points.
He stressed, “I just spoke with the team, and we also discussed internally things that have already happened. If in Abu Dhabi you need the points, I will do my best to help you. It’s not the end of the world.” .
