RB star fires back
Verstappen: “Did they have to go to the airport already?”
After his triumphant drive in Sao Paulo, Max Verstappen fired back at the British press: "Did they all have to go to the airport already, or did they just not know where the press conference was?"
"That's the next stupid frog! Can't you think of anything better now?" Sturm kicker Günther Neukirchner's interview with TV reporter Gerhard Krabath is cult. "You had 90 minutes to think of sensible questions - then you ask me two shit questions like that", Real Madrid's Toni Kroos snarled at reporter Nils Kaben after the Champions League victory - legendary!
The dispute between Max Verstappen and the British press, including their experts such as Damon Hill, who fired back at the three-time world champion after the heated duel against Lando Norris in Mexico City, is not quite as violent, but the undertone cannot be ignored these days: "Pushing an opponent off the track is unforgivable. The drivers should stick to fairness. But Max has been driving like that since he joined Formula 1. With him, it's methodical gambling."
Verstappen's dad: "Max was fully charged"
It is clear that the Verstappen clan more than just turned up their noses at the vituperative words and headlines on the island during the Sao Paulo weekend, which brought the Dutchman a big step closer to his fourth world championship crown thanks to a phenomenal performance. "Max was fully charged, he was determined to show everyone," rumbled dad Jos.
At the international press conference in Sao Paulo, the 27-year-old blurted it out. "I just have one quick question. I appreciate all of you here, but why can't I see anyone from the British press, as they normally make up 80, 85 percent of you? Have they all had to go to the airport or did they just not know where the press conference was?"
A fair question! Which Red Bull's Head of Motorsport Dr. Helmut Marko answered aptly: "Max's performance was the answer to the gossip."
