Max Verstappen's driving has been likened to Wacky Races villain Dick Dastardly by F1 world champion Damon Hill.
Red Bull’s Verstappen was handed two penalties totalling 20-seconds for a pair of incidents with title rival
1996 world champion Hill, who himself was involved in controversial run-ins with Michael Schumacher, criticised Verstappen of resorting to underhand tactics similar to those used by cartoon villain Dastardly. "The second move was just daft and Dick Dastardly stuff. He simply accelerated to the apex and drove Lando off the track and Lando didn't have much option and they actually did touch. That was silly driving.
Hill added:"The aerial footage is very clear. He made no attempt to back off and make the corner and leave room for Lando. It was simply a case of you are not coming through."
