F1 LIVE: Max Verstappen stirs pot at Red Bull as Sainz’s Hamilton comments speak volumes

Max Verstappen certainly hasn’t minced his words in the aftermath of another disappointing race at the Hungarian Grand Prix over the weekend.

After colliding with Lewis Hamilton, the Red Bull man finished down in fifth.

It was the third race in a row in which Verstappen, who has utterly dominated F1 over the last few years, has not triumphed. Oscar Piastri claimed his maiden win ahead of McLaren team-mate Lando Norris and Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton.

Max Verstappen certainly hasn’t minced his words in the aftermath of another disappointing race at the Hungarian Grand Prix over the weekend. After colliding with Lewis Hamilton, the Red Bull man finished down in fifth.

For Red Bull, there was further short-term misery as under-fire Sergio Perez could only muster up a seventh-placed finish. And Verstappen was far from happy as he reacted to a miserable afternoon for his team.

Nico Rosberg has criticised Max Verstappen’s pre-race routine after the Dutchman stayed up late sim racing the night before the Hungarian Grand Prix.

“I spoke to Lando last night and I was impressed actually, because he has learned how to become a more professional athlete,” Rosberg said on Sky Sports F1. “Like when he started F1, especially against Daniel Ricciardo, he wasn’t really trying to be perfect as an athlete.

“And yet now this weekend, for example, so last night, his bedtime was 1105, not 1100, 05, wake up was 0805, breakfast was already set, like exactly what to eat, so hyper professional, which was nice to know.

“And at the same time, in contrast, you had Verstappen, who until 3am last night was sim racing. You know, that’s a bit disappointing, isn’t it? It just shows that he’s too used to his ease of domination.”
