F1 | Jos Verstappen scolds his son: “He needs to control himself, he needs to think more”

neither Joseph Verstappen he forgave his son the controversial overtaking he devised in Shanghai. The incorrect maneuver to the detriment of Sebastian Vettel, in recent days, has left countless consequences: the accusations against the pilot of the Red Bull were wasted, as were the invitations to control one's instincts. The latest reproach came directly from Verstappen senior, Max's father and former Formula 1 driver: “The overtaking on Vettel was not possible, it was the result of an error of judgement” – he told the Dutch channel Ziggo Sport. “In some circumstances, Max just needs to think more. I don't want him to change his driving style. At the start he overtook two riders and did it perfectly. This is what we all want to see. But we don't want to see this type of action. He needs to control himself, he must reflect”.

Max himself, in the last hours, he stated that he understood the extent of his mistake, also reiterating the desire to draw an important lesson from this episode.
