Mercedes, Toto Wolff: “I like Verstappen, but now he's dangerous”

Toto Wolff doesn't mince words to comment on the race conduct of Max Verstappen, the Dutchman who took part in a Belgian GP that was over the top to say the least, at the start but above all in the hand-to-hand duels during the race. The Mercedes team principal, who holds Max in high esteem as a driver, said the Red Bull driver should calm down a bit to avoid getting hurt.

“Verstappen always goes to the maximum - Wolff commented - He's a breath of fresh air, great news, I like him a lot. But he isn't afraid and he doesn't even have too much respect for his opponents. If he continues to race like this, however, he risks getting hurt, of going hard against a wall, because today his approach to the GPs is truly dangerous. The FIA ​​has so far let him do it and the only warnings he has received have been from his colleagues in the drivers' briefings. I don't think the next one will be the easiest for him either..."
