Verstappen annoyed in Hungary “Could we talk about something else? »

After making the accident on the first lap of Silverstone a controversy, the team Red Bull seems to have closed the case since the decision of the stewards not to accept the appeal from the Austrian team. To the extent that Max Verstappen lost his temper at a press conference when a German journalist asked him if he was going to want to fight wheel to wheel with the Briton again.
"Can we just stop talking about this?" Since I arrived in Budapest I only answer these stupid questions and I find it ridiculous! We are pilots and yes we will fight whenever possible, including here. Period. »

The championship leader also mentioned another hot topic, the end of the qualifying session. During the last relay, Hamilton hampered the Red Bull drivers, preventing Perez to make one last attempt.
“It's not the best way to end the day but we're going to focus on tomorrow and do the best we can. » explains Verstappen.

Very critical after Silverstone, Christian Horner, this time remained measured regarding this mishap “Lewis had a great lap and of course he slowed down a lot and didn't want to give our cars any fresh air, says the Red Bull boss. But it's his right to do that, he had a better track position, we're not going to complain. Obviously he was more interested in what was happening behind him. The most important thing for us is tomorrow. »

Max Verstappen could lose the championship lead in Hungary before the summer break. He is only 8 points ahead of Lewis Hamilton.
