Jos Verstappen has admitted he was "hard" on son Max while he was growing up, but denied claims it crossed the line into abuse.
Jos, a former F1 driver himself, has undoubtedly had a huge impact on Max's rise to the top of the sport and once abandoned him at a petrol station in Italy as punishment for a poor result during his go-karting days as a youngster.
And in a new documentary series about world champion Max from Swedish broadcaster Viaplay titled Max Verstappen: Anatomy of a Champion, they both open up in a "personal and honest portrayal of our relationship".
