Martin Brundle has criticised world champion Max Verstappen after he refused to bow to team orders and let Sergio Perez pass him at the Brazilian Grand Prix.
The Dutchman was lying sixth in the closing stages, with his teammate behind him, when it became clear he was too far off the pace to haul down the top five. With Perez looking to boost his chances of finishing second in the Championship, Verstappen was told "Max, let Checo through please," by his race engineer.
He declined to oblige though, and after the race said over team radio: "I told you already last summer, guys, don't ask that again to me. Okay? Are we clear about that? I gave my reasons, and I stand by it."
