Max Verstappen has admitted he tried to cool down his father Jos after a furious rant online after the Monaco Grand Prix.
The former Benetton man claimed red Bull did not help Verstappen in Monaco and used the startegy to play into Perez’s hands.
He warned their decisions had thrown away 10 points in the championsip at a time when Ferrari still has the fastest car.
However, Max Verstappen has tried to defuse the situation, adding: “He just wants to see me win. It’s his opinion.

“That was the biggest problem, because in Monaco you can’t overtake. Fine, that was one race, we’ll just move on now.”
