George Russell made a claim about Max Verstappen's engineering staff following the Hungarian Grand Prix in July.
George Russell claimed that, after a tempestuous Hungarian Grand Prix, a quarter of Max Verstappen ’s engineering team sent their credentials to other teams “because they can’t deal with a guy like that.”
Both have doubled down on their own stances, with Verstappen saying he has “no regrets at all” of how he handled the situation, while Russell claimed the Red Bull driver said he would “put me on my f***ing head in the wall” when on track after the two left the stewards. “I’m not questioning his driving abilities one single bit, but the second he does not have the fastest car, let’s take Budapest as an example, he crashes into Lewis, he slams his whole team, and he loses the plot,” Russell told media including PlanetF1.com.“Straight away after that race, 25% of his engineering team were sending their CVs to Mercedes, to McLaren, to Aston Martin, because they said they can’t deal with a guy like that.
“I wasn’t trying to get him a penalty at all when I was on track, I was in pole position at this time, I was just trying to prepare my lap.
