(AP Photo/Fernando Llano) Newly crowned four-time Formula One world champion, Max Verstappen, hit out at the criticism he has received during this season for his aggressive driving style ahead of this weekend’s Qatar Grand Prix.
The Dutchman, who was confirmed as world champion at the Las Vegas Grand Prix last week, has raised questions over his tendency to test the limits of the rules in wheel-to-wheel action on the track. He nonchalantly dismissed them while addressing the media on Friday.
“On the track I will put it all on the line,” he was quoted as saying by The Guardian. “I am not going to back out. I want to win. That needs to be the end result. Some people criticise me for that. But most of them don’t have a championship-winning mentality so they don’t understand and they will never understand that kind of approach.”
