Both brundle

Mexico City Grand Prix: After a dramatic and controversial Mexico City Grand Prix, former Formula 1 world champion Damon Hill has called on Red Bull Racing to address Max Verstappen's aggressive driving style following a series of incidents that saw Verstappen penalised twice and finish in sixth place.

Verstappen's actions, which included two aggressive moves against title rival Lando Norris, led to two separate 10-second penalties and two penalty points on his super license, ultimately narrowing his championship lead over Norris to 47 points ahead of this weekend’s Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

Hill, a seasoned critic of racing conduct, believes Red Bull has been overly permissive with Verstappen, allowing him a level of freedom on track that could potentially harm his long-term reputation. “There’s never any attempt to publicly describe his driver in a way that other people would recognise it,” Hill said on the Sky Sports F1 Podcast. “It is always a protective comment from Christian about Max. It almost appears as though Max is free to do whatever he likes.”
