Max Verstappen made a bizarre complaint about the lack of speed from the safety car used at last weekend's Australian Grand Prix, comparing it to a turtle.
The Red Bull star was joined by his Ferrari rival Charles Leclerc in making the same point about the green Aston Martin Vantage used at the race in Melbourne. It is one of two vehicles sharing safety car duties this season, the other being a Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series.
The pair's comments came after an incident in the race involving them – as the second safety car period came to an end, Leclerc understeered through a lack of grip heading into the final corner. It gave Verstappen a chance to snatch the lead, though it was not one he was able to take.
