Max Verstappen has issued a firm response in defense of his Verstappen Racing teammate Chris Lulham, after the British driver was subjected to a wave of online abuse following a race-altering collision at the GT World Challenge Europe season finale in Portimao.
The incident occurred during the second hour of the three-hour Endurance Cup race on Saturday when Lulham, driving the #3 2 Seas Motorsport-prepared Verstappen Racing Mercedes-AMG GT3 he shared with the F1 driver and Ben Barnicoat, attempted a late move up the inside of Luca Stolz in the #48 Winward Racing car at the entry of Turn 8 on the first lap after a safety car restart.
