Furious Max Verstappen brands George Russell ‘d**khead’ in Baku confrontationMax Verstappen made his frustrations quite clear in a post-sprint exchange with George Russell after the pair had collided on the opening lap.
But, the move did not happen at the first attempt at Turn 1, Russell and Verstappen touching at Turn 2 before Russell made his way past the Red Bull driver and up to P3. Red Bull told Verstappen that he had sustained floor damage from the collision, with post-sprint images showing a gaping hole in the left sidepod on Verstappen’s RB19.
“Yeah, well what do you want me to do?” Russell responded as he walked away from Verstappen. “Then expect next time the same!” Verstappen shouted towards the Mercedes driver, signing off by calling Russell a “d**khead”.
