F1 fans, buckle up! Drama struck in Budapest when Max Verstappen’s candid radio comments caused a stir.
- Max got frustrated with Red Bull’s strategy during the race.
- He unleashed his anger on race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase.
- A calm meeting later tried to clear the air.
- Martin Brundle wasn’t impressed by Max’s behavior.
At the recent Budapest Grand Prix, Max Verstappen’s frustration reached a boiling point. Competing with McLaren in his upgraded RB20, which he called “not good enough”, he made his feelings clear.
Verstappen’s mood worsened after running wide on the opening lap and having to give P2 back to Lando Norris. His strategy further aggravated him as he felt he was let down by his team.
In a heated radio message, Verstappen blasted his race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase, exclaiming, “No mate, don’t give me that s***. You guys gave me this s*** strategy, okay? I’m trying to rescue what’s left. F***!” This was just the first of his outbursts.
A meeting was held to smooth things over with his engineer, the team’s technical director Pierre Wache, and team boss Christian Horner. Martin Brundle, however, was left
Brundle stressed that while he admired Max, such conduct wasn’t his proudest moment.
