Max Verstappen says he “has the flawed passport” for the Method 1 paddock amid fierce criticism over his driving techniques in final week’s Mexican Grand Prix.

In Mexico Metropolis, Verstappen was handed a double 10-second penalty for 2 incidents by which he compelled McLaren title rival Lando Norris off the observe, which induced unease from numerous colleagues over his aggressive driving fashion within the title run-in.

Verstappen notably copped heavy criticism from British pundits, with former F1 world champion and Sky analyst Damon Hill questioning if the three-time champion is even able to racing pretty.

In the meantime, Johnny Herbert, who was the FIA driver steward in Mexico, instructed Verstappen drove Norris off on objective in Flip 7 to make sure Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc would make it previous, hindering Norris’ title bid by lowering the variety of factors left on the desk for the Briton.

Verstappen initially shrugged off Hill’s feedback within the Brazilian Grand Prix’s FIA press convention, however talking afterward to Dutch-language journalists, he was amused by how he appeared to have the flawed nationality to be handled pretty by the media and the stewards.

“I do know what most individuals are like, it is nothing new,” he stated. “Final 12 months was good, so it will need to have damage rather a lot for many individuals that they could not say something destructive.

“Now they have the prospect to say one thing, in order that they’re all popping out of the woodwork. On the finish of the day, I’ve obtained the flawed passport for this paddock.”

Verstappen referred to as Herbert’s principle “a reasonably excessive accusation” and insisted he did not drive Norris off on objective in Flip 8.

“I did not do something on objective. They can not look inside my head,” he stated. “It is a fairly excessive accusation. We simply raced laborious.”

Whereas questioning the dimensions of the penalty for his Flip 4 incident with Norris, Verstappen did acknowledge the second 10-second penalty for his Flip 8 manoeuvre was truthful. However he did not really feel there was any cause to do issues in another way any more.

“You win some, you lose some,” he stated in regards to the consequence of his Flip 8 lunge. “It relies upon. Each state of affairs is completely different and in hindsight, it is all the time simple to have one other have a look at it.

“It occurred, we simply have to verify we’ve got a extra aggressive automobile so we do not find yourself in that state of affairs once more, as a result of that is the place it begins.”

What can be behind Verstappen’s suggestion of bias is his group service penalty for swearing in Baku’s press convention, whereas Leclerc hasn’t been slapped on the wrists but for the same offence in Mexico.

Learn Additionally:

“[Herbert] had large opinions about what I stated within the press convention [in Baku], however I did not hear him after the press convention in Mexico.

“Truly, what [Leclerc] stated is worse than what I stated in its context, and it was a way more necessary press convention with extra folks watching. However you recognize, I am not going to spend time on that. It’s what it’s.”

Motorsport.com understands the FIA remains to be contemplating whether or not or not Leclerc’s swearing in Mexico’s post-race press convention must be investigated additional, with a name anticipated over the Brazilian GP weekend.
