Formula 1 Drama Unfolds: Horner Hits Back at Rosberg’s Criticism of Verstappen
The Formula 1 scene is heating up as Red Bull Racing’s team principal, Christian Horner, fires back at former F1 driver Nico Rosberg’s scathing comments on Max Verstappen’s actions during the Spanish Grand Prix. The tension escalated when Verstappen received a 10-second penalty for a collision with Mercedes’ George Russell in the final laps of the race.
Rosberg, now a commentator for Sky Sports F1, criticized the penalty as “very lenient,” pointing out that Red Bull’s decision to instruct Verstappen to let Russell pass was a mistake. He accused Russell of ramming into Verstappen and suggested that Verstappen’s subsequent actions were intentional retaliation, likening it to a past incident involving Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton.
In response to Rosberg’s comments, Horner made a succinct yet impactful statement, dismissing Rosberg’s remarks as “quite sensational.” Verstappen, on the other hand, acknowledged Rosberg’s opinion, stating that everyone is entitled to their own perspective on the matter.
The aftermath of the Spanish Grand Prix continues to reverberate throughout the F1 community, with tensions running high and rivalries intensifying on and off the track. Stay tuned as the drama unfolds in the world of Formula 1.
