Verstappen and colère
The turn of events certainly did not satisfy Verstappen, who believed his rival was working dangerous maneuver
showed himselfظهر Disrespectful and unsportsmanlike
While celebrating his victory in the hospital.
I’m glad I’m fine. I am so disappointed that I came out that way (in the first round). The penalty awarded (Hamilton) does not help us and does not reflect Lewis’ dangerous dribble on the track. Attending these ceremonies while the pilot(s) is still in the hospital is disrespectful and unsportsmanlike behavior, but we are moving forward.

I didn’t really see the pictures. I saw a quick snippet of it when I got back to the garage, but I’ll have time to do that and think about it. But from my point of view, right now, I don’t think I have any reason to apologize for anything

I heard Max was in the hospital, and that obviously worries me. None of us want any of us to get hurt one day, that wasn’t my intention of course. So, I really hope he’s okay. I will call him later. It’s important for all of us to step back, because feelings are strong
