Sergio Perez berated for “below the belt” Max Verstappen comment at Brazilian GP

Not everyone is siding with Sergio Perez after teammate Max Verstappen declined to do him a favour at the Brazilian Grand Prix.

Dutch Grand Prix chief Jan Lammers has slammed the Mexican for his "below the belt" comments, after he questioned the world champion's character for refusing to give his place up late on. Verstappen had been ordered by his team to allow his partner to move into P6, which would have sent him second in the standings above Charles Leclerc.

Instead, Perez will head to Abu Dhabi level on points with the Monegasque man, and also with fresh questions over the internal harmony at Red Bull. The most brutal assessment came from Algemeen Dagblad journalist Arjan Schouten, who wrote "something seems to have seriously snapped" between the pair.
