Jos ♑Verstappen has criticised Johnny Herbert for doing media interviews.

Herbert was in the four-person FIA steward panel last weekend at the F1 Mexico City Grand Prix when 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen was hit with two time penalties.

Herbert later claimed: “Those penalties in Mexico won’t stop Max Verstappen from pushing 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris off the track in the future.”

But that comment has irked Verstappen Senior.

"I thin♛k a steward shouldn't talk to the press at all and just deliver work all the time. And that's certainly not the case now,” Jos wꦐas quoted by .

Red Bull’s Verstappen and McLaren’s Norris are locked in an 🉐increasingly feisty battle for ♕the F1 championship.

"It depends a bit on🌃 the penalties,” Verstappen’s fatheꦛr judged the title fight.

“One time they give five seconds, anoth🍎er time 10 seconds.

"There has to be a line in that, too, so that you know wha🍬t penalty you're getting.

“I thought Max's second overtaking💙 move [at the Mexico City ꦉGP] went too far. I think he thinks so now too.

"I say that honestly, ജalso to him. That's fine. I think we have to be open and honest."

Verstappen was also punished on Saturday in the spri🌠nt race at the F1 Sao Paulo Grand Prix.
