Both Max Verstappen and George Russell appear unmoved after their on and off-track run-in at Baku. The Red Bull driver called Russell, also 25, a “d*ckhead” to his face, and later “Princess George” in conversation with Dutch print media. “Especially from English people, I think,” Verstappen is now quoted by De Telegraaf newspaper as having said in Miami on Thursday. “If people have a problem with that, that’s their problem, right?”. As for Briton Russell, he said he was disappointed with the world championship-leader’s reaction at Baku but insisted in Miami that he will “continue racing the same way as I always would”.
