Aggressive Verstappen criticized
Print Edition
DUTCH teenager Max Verstappen’s aggressive racing style is dangerous and may have caused a big accident during the Belgian Grand Prix, rival Kimi Raikkonen claimed after Sunday’s race.
Finn Raikkonen, who finished ninth for Ferrari, clashed frequently throughout the 44-lap contest with the local hero, who seemed to be inspired by the atmosphere created by a sell-out crowd packed with an ‘orange’ army of his supporters.
Raikkonen had criticized Verstappen, who finished 11th, for his abrasive defensive driving in Hungary.
“My start wasn’t great,” said the Dutchman. “But then I dived up the inside and didn’t lock a wheel and was easily making the corner, but they just kept squeezing me. I was on the inside, Kimi was squeezing me and then Sebastian just turned in on both of us. He turned into the corner, where there were already two cars.”
In turn, Raikkonen took issue with Verstappen’s defensive move on the Kemmel Straight. “I’m all up for fair battles and close racing,” said Raikkonen. “But when I have to back off after Eau Rouge, on the straight, where I made my move...I had to brake not to hit him because he turns after I make my move the first time. That, I think, is not correct. We were fortunate there wasn’t a big accident because of that.”
