Max Verstappen: Letting Sergio Perez through wouldn’t have been ‘nicest way’ to finishMax Verstappen confirmed he was not told to slow down for Sergio Perez and that if he had been, it would not have been the “nicest way” to end the season.
Early on in the race, Verstappen remained within a second of Perez allowing the Mexican to use DRS and move clear of Leclerc. During the post-race press conference, Verstappen was asked if he had been told by Red Bull to help Perez but said there was no orders and that it would not have been the “nicest way” to end the season.
“It looked like that Checo was catching him enough to try and actually get a movement and he lost quite a bit of time with that bit of a fuss between Pierre [Gasly] and Alex [Albon]. I was watching on the screen.”
