168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell has revealed F1 rival168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Max Verstappen threatened to intentionally crash into him and 🎀“put my “f*****g head in the wall” in Qatar.

The bombshell revel🐷ation came during an extraordinary press conference attended by media including in which Russell hit back at Verstappen’s pu🎉blic criticism of his conduct.

Four-time world ch♌ampion Verstappen had said he “lost all respect” for the Mercedes driver over his role in the penalty the Red B🦹ull driver received after qualifying at the Qatar Grand Prix.

Russell, who was joined by Mercede💃s boss Toto Wolff in an unusual display of solidarity, spoke at length about Ve💯rstappen, who he accused of resorting to bullying tactics.

“I've known Max for a long time. I know what he's capable of. And, you know, he said to me he's going to purposely go out of his way to ꦛcrash into me, putting my f*****g head in the wall,” Russel🦩l said.

“I knew that was a bit of a heat of the moment thing but when I went to see him the next day at the driver's parade, when Checo was there, when Carlos was th🏅ere,⭕ and we were joking around a little bit, I saw it in his eyes that he means it.

“And, you know, he's a four-time world champion. When I compare his actions to the ones o💫f Lewis, Lewis is the sort of world champion who I aspire to be like. The way he fought Max in 21 is hard. Very hard, it's fair. But never beyond the line.

Asked by if Russell would look tওo speak to Verstappen to clear the air, he replied: “I don't need to talk to him. I don't need to talk to him at all. There's nothing for me to say.”

Pushed on whether he thinks their relationship may be broken beyond repair, Verstappen responded to wuqian0821.com: “I'm an adul🍃t. I'm not losing any sleep over it whatsoever. I know what Max is like. It's not the first time I've seen him like t🥂his.

“I've seen him 🀅like this as a 14-year-old in the go-kart paddock. So this is just me sharing and sharing what happ✤ened really on Saturday night.”

Russell insisted the intention behind the escalation of their row is not to get Verstappen punished, bu𝓀t simply to stand up for himself.

“I'm not looking to gꦚet Max penalised,” he said. “I’m not looking 𒊎for any repercussion from this. I am standing up for myself.

“For a guy who's coming out, questioning my integrity as a person, slamming me in the press, a♑nd I just want to set the record straight. As I said, everybody's entitled to their own opinion.

“But, for me, he crossed a line at the we൩ekend and that was too much. I have a thing about the swearing.”
