Who slept worst last night: Max Verstappen

Summary

Nutrition label

59% Informative

Max Verstappen is close to being the perfect Formula 1 driver but the Spanish Grand Prix has exposed an old weakness.

The near-perfect F1 driver who has repeatedly proven in recent years why he’s considered the best of his generation still hasn’t pruned away one major flaw: his fuse is alarmingly short, as the Spanish GP in Barcelona demonstrated all too clearly.

The crucial question is this: was it a deliberate act to hit the car? A knee-jerk reaction in a moment of weakness? Or simply a terribly unfortunate, yet ultimately honest mistake?.

Max Verstappen is probably the best F1 driver of his era, but he is not a gracious loser who knows how to do control damage in moments of defeat and own up to mistakes with honesty.

Without the act of revenge, which ultimately dropped him back to P10 owing to the inevitable time penalty, he would have finished at least fifth , probably fourth , and possibly even third .

With 11 penalty points in the last 12 months , he is now just one step away from a race ban.
