Max Verstappen elected driver of the day in Saudi Arabia
All this is more a matter of sanctions than of racing. It's not Formula 1 to me.
The Dutch Red Bull driver, Max Verstappen, was not satisfied with the race direction’s decision, which demanded that he give back the position to the Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton after a contact in the first turn when Verstappen forced Hamilton off the track.
Fortunately, fans have a clear view of the race. Because what happened today is unbelievable. I’m just trying to race, but now it’s more about penalties than racing. For me, it’s not Formula 1 anymore. But at least the fans enjoyed it and I did my best. But obviously, I wasn’t fast enough,” Verstappen said in a radio interview immediately after the finish, when the Dutchman was named Driver of the Day at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
