Max Verstappen slammed over "unfair" comment and told to "stop crying" despite F1 win

Max Verstappen was told to "stop crying" by angry F1 fans after a petulant outburst during the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix.

Having started fourth on the grid, the current world champion notched his first F1 win of the season at the Jeddah Street Circuit, holding off Ferrari's Charles Leclerc following another thrilling duel between the two. The result proved the perfect response from the Red Bull driver after he failed to finish in Bahrain last weekend.

However, Verstappen still found himself chastised by fans after the race after being caught complaining on team radio. After he passed Leclerc in the closing stages, a yellow flag briefly allowed the Monegasque man to close the gap, a notion that angered the Dutchman.
