“I just felt it, as soon as I was going next to him, that he had no intention to leave me space.' 💬 Max Verstappen disagreed with his BrazilGP penalty for a clash with Lewis Hamilton ⬇️ F1
The world champion was attempting to snatch second from Hamilton at the early safety car restart, but came to blows with his Mercedes rival at the Senna Esses.
Speaking about the incident, Verstappen said that he suspected things would not turn out well as soon as he got alongside the Mercedes driver. He added: “I thought after last year, we maybe forget about it, we can finally race you know. Because first of all, when I went side by side, I thought okay, let's have a good race here.
“Yeah, to be honest, I was surprised when I got the five second penalty,” he explained. “I mean, I was not upset. But if you asked me, 'would I do it again?' Absolutely.”
