Red Bull F1 team release a comment in support of Max Verstappen’s ‘unfair’ attitude towards Checo Perez

The 2022 Brazilian Grand Prix was one of the most exciting and entertaining races of the season and it had its fair share of drama as well. Max Verstappen the current 2-time world champion refused to yield his position to help his teammate Sergio Perez gain crucial points in the fight for second place in the driver’s championship.

Since, Verstappen has already claimed the world championship this season, yielding the position to Perez would not have cost him anything. The 32-year-old Mexican driver was unhappy with Verstappen’s behaviour and called him out in the post-race interview – he claimed that Verstappen would not have 2 championship titles if he hadn’t helped him out at crucial moments throughout the season.

Verstappen finished in P6 while Perez finished right behind him in P7 and now has the same number of points as his rival Charles Leclerc in the fight for second place. The F1 community was outraged and disappointed by Max’s attitude in the race and have spoken out against him on various social media platforms.
