Verstappen Says Race Ban Questions ‘Very Childish’

Share

Max Verstappen said Formula 1 was "annoying" and that questions about him racing under the threat of a race ban were "childish".

The Red Bull driver, who qualified second for Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix, will be contesting the lead at the start of the race with Mercedes' George Russell, who took pole position.

Verstappen deliberately drove into the Briton at the last race in Spain and a resulting penalty has left him one licence point short of a race ban.

Asked about this at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on Saturday, the Dutchman said: "I don't need to hear it again. You were speaking about it on Thursday.

"It's such a waste of time. It's very childish. So, that's why I also don't want to say too much because it's really annoying, this world that we live in."
