Nico Rosberg blasts Max Verstappen for ‘lack of grace’ and “skipping team meeting” at F1 Saudi Arabian GP

Verstappen was critical of Red Bull’s reliability problems after both qualifying and the ☂race, something which unimpressed 2016 world champion and Sky Sports pundit Rosberg, who claimed the Dutchman had missed a team meeting on Saturday.
"It is not good to ♑see,” Rosberg told Sky. “We were also told he skipped the team💯 meeting [on Saturday] apparently.
"I don't think it's a good approach or mentality so early in the season when the 🦂team has done such a brilliant job and worked so hard. I think he could be more gracious.”
Despite retaining his early championship 𒆙lead, Verstappen, who reported further driveshaft concerns after experiencing vibrations at high-speed during Sunday's race, said Red Bull neꦰeded to get on top of their niggles.
"I recovered to second which is good and in general the whole feeling inꦬ the team is happy,” he said.
"But personally I am not happy. I am not here to 🌳be second, especially when you are working very hard back at theꦦ factory to come here in a good state and making sure everything is spot on.
"When you are fighting for a championship and it looks like it is just between two cars you have to make sure the two cars are reliable. We have to do better, absolutely - a cleaner ꦜwe🍷ekend would be nice.
"We are✨ allowed to race so the best man will finish in front."
