Verstappen counterattacks against Massa

Felipe Massa recalled his point of view already expressed after the Monaco race (before the five-place penalty imposed on the Toro Rosso driver). “I think when you're in your first year at 17, and you're doing this type of thing and you're not penalized, it's not okay. The FIA ​​must be strong and that is what happened. I haven't changed my opinion, that's what I believe. » the Brazilian said this Thursday at a press conference.

“Everyone can have their opinion, but given the data, I didn't slow down later. I braked later than that earlier in the race, but in the crash I braked like the previous lap. I got my penalty, and now I'm focused on Canada. » continued the Dutchman who then allowed himself a little reminder to Massa.

“Maybe you should rewatch last year's race and see what happened there, referring here to the accident between Felipe Massa and Sergio Pérez in the last lap. Il there's no reason to look back. I will try to score points, and I will not change the way I drive. » What the pilot Williams replied that the situation was different during his accident in 2014. Atmosphere.
