🗣 “I’m just a bit fed up with all this bullshit just going around all the time... It’s pretty sickening to be honest, being part of all that' F1 AbuDhabiGP
The world champion defied a team order to allow Perez to repass him for sixth place on the final lap of last weekend's Sao Paulo Grand Prix and help the Mexican’s bid to secure second place in the F1 2022 drivers’ standings.
Red Bull issued a statement defending Verstappen on Thursday ahead of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, admitting he was left in a “compromising situation” due to only being informed of the request at the final corner “without all the necessary information being relayed”. “But they didn't have the clear picture. To immediately put me down like that is ridiculous to be honest, because they don’t know how I work within the team and what the team appreciates about me.
“If you have a problem with me that’s fine, but don’t go after my family because that is just unacceptable. I just don’t understand when people don’t have the full picture to start attacking me like that.“I hope one day they actually understand what was going on, because it’s just unacceptable behaviour.
