Max Verstappen expressed that he feels he is treated unfairly in the Formula 1 paddock due to his nationality, following criticism of his driving tactics during the Mexican Grand Prix. He received penalties for incidents involving Lando Norris and faced scrutiny for his aggressive racing style. Verstappen dismissed accusations by British pundits and seemed amused by the situation in interviews with Dutch journalists. He denied driving Norris off the track intentionally and questioned the penalties imposed on him. Verstappen emphasized the need for a more competitive car to avoid similar situations in the future. Additionally, he pointed out discrepancies in how penalties were handled for him compared to other drivers, highlighting a perceived bias. The FIA is reportedly still assessing whether Charles Leclerc’s behavior in a post-race press conference warrants further investigation.
