Verstappen podium incident ‘a shame for F1’
Former F1 driver Timo Glock expressed his confusion over the booing of Max Verstappen after his win at the United States Grand Prix, stating that it is incomprehensible. He attributed the booing to the issues between Verstappen’s teammate Sergio Perez and Red Bull, but emphasized that Verstappen had nothing to do with it. Glock believes that Verstappen’s exceptional performance this year should not be tainted by such behavior. In addition, Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc were disqualified from their finishes due to excessive wear on their cars’ plank skid blocks. Glock explained that the uneven track in Austin caused the cars to touch down frequently, resulting in the infringement. This event not only affects Mercedes and Ferrari, but also has implications for Hamilton’s fight in the drivers’ championship against Perez.
