George Russell has hit back at Max Verstappen after the furious row between the pair following the sprint race at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
The rival drivers collided at the start of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix sprint race, although both were able to continue with Verstappen taking P3 one place ahead of the Mercedes man. The incident occurred as Russell tried to take the Red Bull man on the inside, but Verstappen held his line in a bid to defend his position.
The pair confronted each other afterwards, with the Dutchman angrily calling Russell a 'd***head' before ranting to reporters: “[Defending] is not allowed because ‘Princess George’ is there? At the end of the day, that’s his problem too. Everyone has their own opinion. But I think I gave him space and then he should also just corner normally."
