Jos Verstappen takes aim at British press after crucial
Brazilian GP win
Jos Verstappen has claimed that “negative journalists
from England” spurred Max Verstappen on to victory in the Brazilian Grand Prix.
Red Bull driver Verstappen claimed one of the best
victories of his career at Interlagos, triumphing from 17th on the grid to take
a giant step towards a fourth consecutive World Championship.
Speaking in the post-race press conference in Sao Paulo,
the reigning World Champion could not help but aim a barb at the more partisan
factions of the British media, suggesting they may have “run to the airport” as
Lando Norris’s title hopes took a potentially fatal blow.
Verstappen Sr has echoed his son’s stance, suggesting his
poor treatment by the British press “motivated” him to “show who is the best.”

title battle against Max Verstappen in F1 2024.
And he fears the McLaren star “lacks the killer instinct”
required to take on the “pretty brutal” Verstappen and win.
Norris trails Verstappen by 62 points with just three
races of the F1 2024 season, having dropped from pole position to sixth at the
chequered flag in Brazil.
