Max Verstappen reveals Red Bull race engineer's anger with him despite Bahrain dominance

Max Verstappen said he was repeatedly told off by his Red Bull race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase despite romping to victory in the Bahrain Grand Prix.

The Dutchman sped off from the moment that the lights went out and never looked back. Even if he did he wouldn't have seen much other than empty track, as Verstappen was 12 second up the road from Sergio Perez and more than half a minute clear of Fernando Alonso when he took the chequered flag.

What made that even more impressive was that, for much of the race, the Red Bulls weren't even operating on full power. Verstappen experienced a small issue with downshifts that he had to manage, while the team were keen to put as little strain on their engines as possible given the enormous performance gap to the rest of the field.
