Why Max Verstappen gave me my marching orders from a press conference

The former world champion’s ultimatum blindsided me at Suzuka, but there are more serious issues than an F1 driver being cross with you for doing your job

Within two hours someone had tracked down my email. “You’re the problem. You’re the toxic dipshit who’s responsible for the whole British bias in F1. You’re the worst,” it read. Damn.

If this guy was smiling me when asking asking a question whilst attempting to frame it as if I had deliberately drove into another car - I’d be fucking livid as well.

Other than Brundle fuck British F1 media.

I somewhat understand Max’s frustration. A whole season has happened, with wins, and losses, DNF’s, etc. Why ask about one specific incident saying “Do you regret this?” It seems to narrow the entire season to “Remember that penalty you got against the British driver?”

I’m there there were lots of places he lost points, and that was somewhat Max’s thought I think.
