Send him down to Toro Rosso and bring up Gasly. Would send a message to the whole organization re: teamwork. At this point, Ricciardo is probably telling Christian Horner "him or me. Keep him as a teammate and I'm gone". Wouldn't blame him a bit. Verstappen's a liability until he learns how to play with others.

That's what can happen when you have let your drivers race hard. Interesting that Ricciardo agrees it was a racing incident, very mature from him IMO.

I reckon he’d probably publicly agree to diffuse the situation and move on... privately would likely be a very different matter.

Perfect example of why the double defending rule exists, and not enforcing it here is the stupidest decision by the FIA since, well, Baku last year lol. The more confidence drivers have that their opponent will leave the required space will only increase the number of on-track battles, not discourage them. Also, Vettel is still crap at going wheel to wheel... |

Given how they had been racing each other he should have known that he would be fighting with someone over aggressively defending the position.

Let's see...Max has 4 crashes in 4 races? That's efficient...NOT! He's no longer a teen wonder. He needs to start growing up, regardless of his daddy's influence.

The double block is a Verstappen special that's happened quite a few times and the FIA doesn't seem to want to enforce the rule. Problem is, at a certain point the is no way physics will allow you to escape when he surprises you late. |

I think a race on the sidelines will help Max to reflect on his driving a bit, and something which would have been justified as punishment for what happened in Baku (along with his other 3 incidents from the last 3 races). He needs to calm down his aggressiveness, he's obviously bloody quick, but it won't be worth for anything if he keeps throwing it away through brain farts behind the wheel.

Man, Verstappen didn't have anyone to "race" today so I guess he had to make due under VSC lol.
