The Red Bull driver and his race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase bickered over team radio on Friday at Spa-Fra⭕ncorchamps, before Verstappen apologised and their friendship shone through.

But during the race they were at it again!

After Sergio Perez pitted from th🔯e lead, Lambiase told Verstappen: “So don’t♓ forget Max, use your head please.” 

Verstappen, seeking informati꧂on on Perez,🍰 demanded to know: “Are we both doing it or what?”

Lambiase rꦍeplied: “You just follow my instruction.”

V🐼erstapp𝓰en hit back: “No, I want to know [if] both cars do it.”

Lambiase cut him off: “Max, please follow my instruction and trust it, thank you🍃.”

Later, with Verstappen in the lead, he r🐼eceived a scolding from his race engineer.

"You used a lot of ty🍃re on the out lap, Max,” Lambiase said. "Not sure that was sensible๊." 

Verstappen notably did not reply.

“This tyre had reasonable degradation in the first stint,” Lambiase said. “I'd ask you to use your heꦍad a bit more.”

Wiꦍth Verstappen cruising further into the lead, he decided to tease Lambiase.

“I could also push on and we do another stop? A litt🦋le bit of pit stop training,” he joked.

Lambiase: “No, not this time.”
