However, with Red Bull continuing the war of words this week as they defend their Dutch driver, who received a three-place grid penalty for the next race. Moreover, the clash at Monza is not the first incident where Verstappen and Hamilton have had a war of words.

Max Verstappen responded as quoted by Express.co.uk“It was a silly comment to make. I don’t need to dig into other people in a press conference because it is disrespectful and I prefer to fight on track. It only shows that I am in their heads and I guess that is a good thing. I am a hard racer, but fair, and it is just not correct [what Hamilton said]. I like to fight hard but on the edge. 

“If they want me to stay behind it is better that I stay at home. I want to take the fight to them because that is what we are here for.”
