Max Verstappen slammed by Sky pundit after calling for F1 Sprint axe – "A poor loser"

"Sulking" Max Verstappen was labelled a "poor loser" after the Red Bull star called for the Formula 1 Sprint format to be scrapped.

Verstappen was in a foul mood as he faced the press after the Sprint on Saturday. Minutes earlier, he had confronted George Russell in parc ferme to let his anger out after a collision with the Brit on the first lap of the short-form race.
