Jos Verstappen has taken aim at F1’s stewards after168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Max Verstappen was hit wiജth two 10-second time penaltiꦜes at the Mexico City Grand Prix.

Verstappen was handed 20 seconds worth of penalties for two incidents with F1 title rival168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Lando Norris at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.

The Dutchman ♏ultimately finished sixth, and with Norris securing second, his lead in the championship has been cut down to 47 points.

The penalties Verstappen recei🌊ved in Mexico were more severe than seen at any point this year, particularly since in Austin, he🌌 escaped any punishment for forcing Norris wide on the opening lap.

Speaking to Dutch publication De Telegraaf, Jos defended his son’s driving, stating “he has to d♋o this” due to how uncompetitive the RB20 is at the moment.

“You can start talking about 𓄧it for a very long time, but it makes no difference anyway, Max has to drive the way he wants,” Jos said.

“He has to do th🍬is because the car is not good enough and he is doing everything he can to win the title.”

The 52-year-old su𒀰ggested that the ste🅰wards on duty in Mexico “don’t like” Max hence the harsh penalties.

For Mexico💮, former Sky pundit Johnny Herbert was the FIA’s driver stewar🐻d.

“But Max is not going to change his driving style because there were a c🍃ouple of stewards present now who don’t like him anyway,” Jos added.

“The FIA should take a good look at 🔯the staffing of the stewards, who the🌸y put there and whether there is no appearance of a conflict of interest.

“From 🌃former drivers, for exཧample, who have more sympathy for certain drivers or [teams].”

“Asꦚ far as Max is concerned, th꧑e most important thing is that the basis, the car, is not good.

“You could see that in hisꦛ teammate’s performance, even Haas was faster than Red Bull in the race.”
