Max Verstappen Snaps Following Qualifying Incident
During the Spanish Grand Prix, Max Verstappen and George Russell came together which led to the Dutch driver getting a ten second time penalty and demerit points on his FIA super license. The incident has also led to many questioning the fact whether the Dutch driver is able to drive against George Russell. As Max Verstappen is now just one point away from a race ban, he was questioned regarding his penalty points on which the defending world champ snapped.
"I don’t need to hear it again. It’s really pissing me off. I mean, you were speaking about it on Thursday. It’s such a waste of time. It’s very childish. So, that’s why I also don’t want to say too much because it’s really annoying, this world that we live in," said Max Verstappen during the press conference.
