Not for the first time this season, Verstappen was heard engaging in a frosty debate with his Red Bull race engineer in second p🎃ractice at Monza. 

Frustrated that his sole low-fuel run on soft tyres had been hampered by traffic in the middle sector, Verstappen wanted t♑o go for another attempt but saw his request denied by Lambiase. 

“We’re not going to try again? Because I had a s*** read,” V♒erstappen questioned. 

“It’s not qualifying, Max,” Lambias🌠e retorted in a rather dismissiveꦐ tone.

To which, Verstapp🐎en responded: “Yeah I know🍨, but I want to have a proper read.”

Verstappen, who is hunting for a record-breaking 10th consecutive victory this weekend, ended up an unfamiliar fifth in the timesheets and behind teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez. 

As the session came to its conclusion, Lambiase was heard sarcastica𝄹lly asking Verstappen: “Did you learn anything?”

“No, not really,” the two-time world champion replied, before Lambiase responded: “Wel♑l done.”

Verstappen and Lambiase made headlines for their confrontational radio messages - including an exple🧔tiv💫e-laden rant during qualifying - that were broadcast across the Belgian Grand Prix weekend. 

"That's how we operate,” Verstappen told Sky F1 in Belgium. "I think we know each other very🍎 well from all the years we have been working together.” 

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner also downplayed the heat🙈ed exchanges at the time. 

"I think to race engineer Max Verstappen, you've got to have strength of character because he 𓃲is one tough customer," Horner said.

"Many race engineers would crumble under that pressure and GP has got the strength o♚f character to deal with that.

"He deals with him firmly, but fairly and there's a great respect between the two of them. That comes out of a mutual trust that you must have wไith an engineer.

"The only problem is that conversation between the two of them has 200 million ♈people listening, but there's a great bond between the two of them and a great trust between the two."
