Red Bull have hit out at “rubbish” claims that168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Max Verstappen’s fury during the F1 Hungarian Grand Prix was linked to h💝is 3am sim racing sessions.

Verstappen repeatedly criticised the performance of his RB20 car and Red Bull’s strategy with a series of scathing radio messages during a frustrating run to fifth in Sunday’s race, which featured a collision with old title rival 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton.

The three-time world champion lasheཧd out at his critics after the race, telling them to “f*** off” after some people had blasted the tone of his foul-mouthed radio rants.

Sky Sports F1 commentator David Croft suggested Verstappen’s anger might have been the result of him taking part in a sim racing event until 3am ൲on Saturday night.

“I don’t want to sound too critical, but Max Verstappen is sounding like a man who stayed up late last night doing a sim race, which he ෴did, and then got up early this morning to do a sim race, which he did, rather than getting a good night’s sleep in Budapest, which by the sounds of it, he could probably have done with,” Croft said.

But Red Bull motorsport🎀 advisor Helmut Marko moved to reject the idea the two events were linked, telling Autosport: “He was up even longer in Imola൲, I don't know where the sleeping times came from again, and won the race.

“Max has a different rhythm to me or other people and the time he went to bed is nothing out of the ordinary for hi♋m.

“He didn't even wake up at ten o'clock in Zandvoort when the๊ helicopters f🐠lew over his motorhome. He's got his sleep quota. He's had it as usual. That's rubbish.”

Meanwhile, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner sꩲaid: “I think people draw conclusions, but Max knows what’s required and we trust his judgement on that.

“He knows what it takes to drive a grand prix car and to win grands prix and be a world champion. And, look, as a team, we always work as a team, and whatever discussions of how to improve will always not take place through🎃 media.”
