😭 Wait for the radio message... Max Verstappen pre-empting George Russell before he could even complain…
Merging out of the pit lane closely alongside George Russell during qualifying at Zandvoort, Max Verstappen immediately jumped on the team radio predicting Mercedes would complain about an unsafe release.
His race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase quickly confirmed that Russell hadn’t said a word, turning Max’s pre-emptive jab into an instant viral moment at his home race.
With Russell qualifying P2 on the front row and Max starting P7 after Red Bull struggled with balance, the psychological mind games set up a fierce race day battle in front of the Orange Army.
Do you think Max pre-empting George’s complaint was hilarious banter or unnecessary mind games?
