168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen has hit back at critics, including 1996 F1 world champion Damon H🌳ill, stating he “doesn’t listen t🐭o those individuals”.

Verstappen has been subject to an intense amount of criticism following the Mexico City Grand Prix🌳.

The Dutchman picked up two 10-second time penalties during the race in Mexico for incidents with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris.

The penalties meant Verstappen could only finish sixth, rather than fourth, as Norris reduced his lead in the standings to 47 points ahead of Brazil.

Verstappen’s approach to racing was aꦅ hot topic in the 🌠pre-weekend FIA press conference in Sao Paulo.

The three-ti🥂me world c🍰hampion was asked about Hill’s comments on the , where the former Williams driver claimed Verstappen was incapable of racing fairly.

Verstappen responded: “I don’t listen to those individuals. I just do my thing. I am a three-time world champion꧙. I think I know what I am doing.”

Verstappen was also blunt i🃏n his response about whether he will “chan😼ge his approach”.

“I’ve heard that before right i🔴n my career,” Verstappen said. “It’s my 10th year in♌ F1. I think I know what I am doing.”

Unlike in Austin, whe🔥re Verstappen escaped a penalty for forcing Norris off the track on two occasions, he was hit with two severe penalties in Mexico.

However, Verstappeಞn refused to get drawn in over talk about them, admitting “you win some, you l🏅ose some”.

“I think it’s just you win some, you lose some,” he explained. “That’s how it isඣ in racing in general. I like to win.

“I don’t like to lose. I don’t think many people like to lose. I will try to maximise the results. Somඣe you win, some you lose.”

Verstappen takes aim at the FIA

Verstappen resisted the urge to swear in the FIA pr🗹ess conference after picking up a community servꦍice penalty for doing so earlier in the season.

But, he was quick to point out 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc swearing in the post-race Mexico presser, but ൲it wasn’t investigated by the FIA.

Verstappen was asked which people he listens to for advice in context ꦕof being criticised by F1 champions such as Hill.

“People that are obje♉ctive and close to me, and not just there to stir,” he said.

“I can’t say ♋the word because I will get another… apparently it only counts for me anyway because after the race in Mexico, someone was swearing and I didn’t hear anything from it.

“It’s better I don’t swear again. Some people are just being very annoying. I know who these people are. I don’t pay a lot of attention to them anyway and I think I’ve got to this stage of my career with the right people supporting me and making my own decisions. I think I know what ꦕI am doing.”
