F1 | Red Bull, sensational Verstappen: "I saw Bottas, but I didn't slow down" [VIDEO]
"Do they want to take away my ride? That's fine with me, but we drivers know what we're doing," he added
The back-and-forth continues between Max Verstappen and the press regarding the episode involving the Dutchman at the end of qualifying on the Hermanos Rodriguez track, scene of the next Mexican Grand Prix.
Interviewed by the international media, in fact, the Red Bull standard bearer admitted that he did not lift his foot at the end of Q3, an aspect that led him to improve on T3 despite the yellow flag displayed and Valtteri Bottas' car crashing on board track. Sensational, absolutely surprising statements that could reopen a case that the race direction seemed to have put aside.
“I noticed Valtteri Bottas' accident, but it really seems like he hasn't slowed down,” the Dutchman said in the press conference. “We know what we're doing, otherwise we wouldn't be driving a Formula 1 car. It's a qualification and that pushes you to try, but if they want to cancel my lap, go ahead."
