Max Verstappen has been crowned World Constructors Champion!
After yesterday, Max can no longer be overtaken to the constructors title. Mf won the constructors with 2 races left😭
George Russell on Max's Imola Lap 1 move:
"Overtake of the year definitely! Without doubt. It’s the best overtake I’ve seen in a hell of a long time.
To see him zoom around Oscar, *****! That’s why he’s one of the best ever. You can’t take that away from him"
"Somehow Verstappen in that Red Bull has put his car on pole..from absolutely no where, Max Verstappen has shown why he is a 4 time world champion..That was a quality lap and a quality time from a quality driver"
Crofty was shocked😭 been ages since he cooked about Max like this
Max saying he doesn't agree with swapping Liam and Yuki around cause it will hurt Yuki's career and the problem isn't Liam/whoever is in the seat, it's more on the fact the cars driveability is just that bad💀
🗣️ | Johnny Herbert defends the swearing punishment: "I don't want my five-year-old grandchild listening to that sort of language."
"Some journalists have said the sport is trying to make robots out of the drivers. That's not the case. You are just asking them not to swear, which I think is the right thing. Most drivers don't swear."
"It all blew up afterwards because he went to the press conference and gave one-word answers then held his own impromptu press conference outside in the paddock.
That showed Max's rebellious streak. I love that side of him, it is what makes Max, his honest and outspoken character.
But there is a time and a place. Personally, I think there is too much swearing. I don't want my five-year-old grandchild listening to that sort of language."
