Max Verstappen branded "short-sighted" by Sky Sports pundit over Sergio Perez call

Max Verstappen may regret his refusal of team orders to deny Sergio Perez in the future, according to Sky Sports pundit Karun Chandhok.

The Dutchman caused a stir at the end of the Brazilian Grand Prix when he denied his team's request. The Red Bull drivers were running sixth and seventh on the final lap, with Verstappen ahead after an underwhelming race for the team.

He has already run away with the championship so the points did not matter to him, but Perez needed every point he could get in his fight for second place in the standings. That's why the team asked Verstappen to move aside – but he refused, explaining over the radio that he had already discussed the topic behind closed doors.
