Max Verstappen slams "disrespectful" Sky Sports as Christian Horner explains boycott

Max Verstappen accused Sky Sports of being "disrespectful" as he explained why Red Bull chose to avoid speaking to the broadcaster at the Mexican Grand Prix.

The Dutchman decided not to speak to Sky this weekend, upset over a comment made by pit lane reporter Ted Kravitz a week earlier. In his post-race analysis, he had suggested Lewis Hamilton was "robbed" at last season's Abu Dhabi finale.
