Max Verstappen has received a lot of criticism in recent weeks, both for his behavior on the track and off the track during interviews and press conferences. The Dutch rider is a bit fed up with it and now shrugs his shoulders about it: “three times world champion”.
In recent weeks, Verstappen has been the man who has been attacked the most by both race management, the media and the fans. For example, we saw how the three-time world champion was given a twenty-second penalty during the Grand Prix of Mexico, after he was reprimanded a few weeks earlier for swearing during the press conference. The driver’s driving behavior in particular is not always appreciated in the media and by fans and after the races in Austin and Mexico, adjustments to the rules are even being considered.
In conversation with Viaplay Verstappen addresses all the commotion surrounding his person. He starts about the criticism of Verstappen’s statements: “Look, it’s fine that you have your own opinion. I have that too, but I don’t always say it. If I always say my own opinion, we can’t do that very often. broadcast television. That’s why I should never become a commentator. Maybe for myself [is dat leuk]but not for the rest,” the Dutch rider chuckles.
