MAX VERSTAPPEN claims he did not mean to offend TV viewers with his controversial comments towards fellow racer Lance Stroll. He said: “First of all, I never intended to offend anyone. “It happened in the heat of the moment and when you are driving at those speeds things like that can happen. “I don’t say that the words I chose were the right ones, I also know they are not correct and I never meant to offend anyone with that.”. Verstappen says he was also quick to clear the air with Stroll after this collision in Portimao, where he finished in third place.
