Verstappen swore at Russell in a heated confrontatio𓆏n in parc ferme after🉐 the pair came to blows while fighting over third place on the opening lap of the Baku sprint race. 

Having branded Russell a “d***head”, the two-time world champion then referred to the Mercedওes driver as a ‘Princess’ in a later interview wiꦬth Dutch media. 

And Verstappen’s 💙comments did not impress Sky Sports F1’s Brundle. 

“It's first lap stuff on a very 𝓰tight track,” Brundle told Sky. 

“I think George should ha♑ve told him to fly away to be♛ honest. I think we’ve seen Max fight really hard like that, Max was on the outside.

“As a Verstappen fan, I was a little bit disappointed how he handled that really to🦋 be frank. Part of that he suggested George was in a slow🃏er car so what's the point in trying to overtake him anyway.

“But you can't go racing like th♍at, you might as well stay home. That’s not how Max goes racing and we love him for it.”

Verstappen did not offer an apology to Russell for hisཧ 🍸comments. 

Speaking ahead of this weekend’s Miami Grand Prix, Russell said their Baku 🌸bust-up was “all a little bit pathetic”. 

"He has had his fair share of giving moves like that and being tough an🔯🧜d hard at racing," Russell said on Thursday. 

"It's a little bit poor to see h✅ow he spat his dummy out when he got something b♛ack in the same regard.

“Something you learn as𒅌 a kid is if you give something you've got to be prepared to take it as well."
