There still appears to be no love lost between168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Max Verstappen and168澳洲5最新开奖结果: George Russell following their fall out at the end of the 2024 F1 season.

A feud emerged between Verstappen and Russell at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix season finale after the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Red Bull driver claimed Russell had pushed for the grid penalt🌌y which cost Verstappen pole position at the previous round in Qatar.

In Abu Dhabi, Russell claimed Verstappen had threatened to “put me on 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:my f***ing head in the wall” and blasted the re🐭igning world champion as a “bully🐭”. Their war of words continued when Verstappen retaliated by labelling Russell a “backstabber” and a “loser”.

There was an awkward moment when Verstappen and Russell were asked about their spat in the FIA press confꦦꦫerence after finishing second and third in Sunday’s season-opening Australian Grand Prix.

Asked if they had cleared the air, Verstappen flatly joked: “No, it’s still sho🐓ckingly bad.

The four-time world champion rather un🌟convincingly added: “It’s all good, it’s all good.”

Russell simply responded: “What he said.”

Even if they do not fully see eye-to-eye, things have certainly simmered down betweဣen the pair.&🌃nbsp;

Verstappen to Mercedes off the cards

Verstappen and Russell are unlikely to be teammates at Mercedes, with team boss Toto Wolff revealing at the F1 2025 c🉐urtain-raiser that the reigning world champi✃on is no longer on their radar.

"We need to concentrate on our ꧂driver line-up. I don't flirt outside if I'm in a good relation♓ship,” Wolff said in Melbourne.

"So at the moment that [a move for Verstappen] is not on any radar. I don't plan to shift my concentration away from these 💮guys and [will] make sure ꧟that George has some visibility very soon, or has a contract very soon.”

Wolff is set to sit down with Russell soon to discuss a new contract, with the Briton’s current deal expiring at the end of th﷽e year.
