Max Verstappen slams F1 fans who booed him and who cheered Lewis Hamilton Austria crash | F1 | Sport
In the meantime, Verstappen has had to shift his attention away from Hamilton and towards his own team-mate, Sergio Perez. The Mexican has been remarkably consistent this season, racking up a famous win in Monaco alongside six podiums to stay within touching distance of the reigning world champ in the current standings.
Ferrari duo Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz are not far behind, either, and were it not for a series of mechanical mishaps they may be a lot closer. Qualifying in Austria earned Verstappen a pole position start for Saturday’s sprint, trailed closely by Leclerc and Sainz, but the Dutchman is not fussy about how he achieves victory as long as he gets the job done.
