Nico Rosberg blasts Max Verstappen for ‘lack of grace’ and “skipping team meeting” at F1 Saudi Arabian GP
After suffering a driveshaft failure in qualifying, Verstappen recovered from 15th on the grid to take second place and the fastest lap at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, a result that keeps him one point ahead of Red Bull teammate and race-winner 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:championship standings.
Verstappen was critical of Red Bull’s reliability pr♔oblems after both qualifying and the race, something which unimpressed 2016 world champion and Sky Sports pundit Rosberg, who claimed the Dutchman had missed a team meeting on Saturday.
"It is not good to see,” Rosberg told Sky. “We were also told he skipped the 💮team meeting [on Saturday] apparently.
"I don't think it's a good approach or mentality so early in the season when t🍨he team has done such a brilliant job and worked so hard. I think he could be more gracious.”
Despite retaining his early championship lead, Verstappen, who reported further driveshaft concerns after experiencing vibrations at high-speed during Sunday's race, said Red Bull needed to get on top o🐼f their niggles.
"I recovered to second which is good and in ge𒈔neral the whole feeling in the team i𝔉s happy,” he said.
"But personally♐ I am not happy. I am not here to be second, especially when you are working very hard back at the🍬 factory to come here in a good state and making sure everything is spot on.
"𓆏When you are fighting for a championship and it looks like it is just between two cars you have to make sure the two cars are reliable. We have to do better, absolutely - a cleaner weekend wou꧃ld be nice.
"𒊎We are allowed to race so the best man will finish in front🃏."
