Max Verstappen dodges George Russell talks after furious Azerbaijan GP confrontation

Max Verstappen said talks with George Russell were "not necessary" despite angrily calling the Mercedes racer a "d***head" in Baku.

Sergio Perez won Saturday's Sprint on the streets of Azerbaijan, but the main story of the short-form race was the battle for third place. Verstappen came out on top, but only after a first-lap battle which saw contact made between himself and Russell.

The Dutchman raged about it over the radio during the race, before gaining the place back from the Mercedes star later in the Sprint. But he was still very angry about it after the event as he sought out Russell before turning the air blue.
