The topic of Max Verstappen's aggression has again risen to the surface in F1 following Sunday's eventful Bahrain Grand Prix.
The world champion became the youngest ever debutant in the sport with Toro Rosso in 2015 when aged just 17, and immediately caught the eye with his daring style. Indeed, his willingness to race wheel to wheel was the cause of frequent debate during his maiden title winning season in 2021.
No less so than in Saudi Arabia, where the Dutchman frequently diced with danger as he tried to overhaul Lewis Hamilton, and after getting in front was eventually ordered to relinquish the race lead. Even then, he damaged Hamilton's wing mirror by refusing to allow him adequate room to pass.
