Max Verstappen has given a bullish reaction to criticism of his driving after a controversial finish to the US Grand Prix
. The Red Bull driver told his McLaren rivals to stop complaining in what is an increasingly tense series of exchanges between the two teams as Verstappen vies with McLaren’s Lando Norris for the world championship., McLaren were left fuming after Norris had attempted to overtake Verstappen for third place but was pushed wide by the Dutchman in the process and given a five-second penalty by the stewards.
After the race Stella explained McLaren had reviewed the incident repeatedly and that they believed Verstappen, while following the regulations, was tactically exploiting them. “How many times has Max used this way to defend? Both cars go off track and both cars are gaining an advantage. If there is an advantage gained, it was at least neutral.”Norris described the decision, which saw him dropping five points to Verstappen over the weekend, as “a momentum killer”, while the debate around the incident and how the regulations are interpreted is likely to continue this week at the next round in Mexico.
