Typical Verstappen. Being disrespectful without anything being confirmed whatsoever. He's the most disrespectful driver on the grid for a reason (in my opinion).

And...

....another 1-2 for Mercedes. Surprise.

Glad Bottas got the win, although the excitement felt a little artificial, what with the different tires. Still, he made it happen with his pole lap (track record) and he didn't put a foot wrong on race day.

Great comeback from Albon as well.

Hamilton is a six-time World Champion. Unbelievable.

Because Vettel's car was broken from the get go and Leclerc had no grip at all on Mediums?
Wondering what else he could mean :wink:
Anyways nice revenge to Vettel's and Hamilton's comments from last weekend.

Disrespectful towards who he answers the question asked ?

Verstappen’s been taking shots at Hamilton all year. Now he’s unloading on the Scuderia.

He had another Ferrari quote today, as well:

https://twitter.com/kwebie/status/11911 ... 17216?s=21

He barely congratulated Hamilton on his title, whereas VET had the pure class to seek HAM out.

It’s a bit of a Dutch national character trait, and I say that as Dutch national myself. Being blunt (to the point of being rude) is generally not considered to be unacceptable in the Netherlands. I don’t think Verstappen is trying to be disrespectful.
I used to be like that until I moved abroad; that’s when I learned that gruff bluntness is not viewed the same way by the rest of the world! Especially not here in Southern California, where everybody is nice and positive all the friggin’ time.

Why ask a redbull driver why ferrari has problems ? They clearly want to hear this stuff themselves go ask Vettel why Verstappens his rear suspension didnt break

Bloody Max Verstappen. He can’t help saying exactly what he’s thinking.

Sometimes it gets him in trouble but sometimes it answers a question that few dare ask directly and a question that the FIA wanted to hide away. Thanks Max for lifting your head above the BS parapet and answering a question honestly.

Without watching Skysports feed, I'm absolutely certain he tried to undermine Hamilton clinching the WDC , and/or saying how lucky he was with the yellow flags in the end.

Disrespectful towards who he answers the question asked ?
Disrespectful towards Ferrari because he openly accuses them of having cheated. All we know for now is that there has been a directive. Ferrari appeared to be slower top speed wise, but their acceleration still was at the very top by a significant amount.
Even if Ferrari could have gone faster, but didn't do it for whatever reason, we still can't be 100% sure about the exact reason yet. The season is ending and they won't bother fully turning up when all eyes are on them trying to find out their secret. So just turn down and wait for next season sounds pretty logical for me. I'm not saying that's the case, but I think that we will need to wait until 2020 to see the definitive result of that directive.

What's more, what Max is doing is just being hypocritical. I'm pretty sure that at least one of the 35 directives which have been brought this season so far (according to Binotto) affected RBR in a way as well.
As if RBR has never been part of some illegal constructions ever.

However Verstappen wasn’t alone in wondering.

The key difference is that Verstappen was just unguarded about it.
