Max Verstappen refused to talk about the first-lap incident that cost him a shot at winning the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, claiming he could end up in hot water with the FIA and that “people can’t handle the truth”.
The Red Bull driver had started on pole position in Jeddah but was challenged off the line by eventual race winner Oscar Piastri and cut Turn 2, leading to the stewards handing him a five-second time penalty.
