There still appears to be no love lost between168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Max Verstappen and168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: 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澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Red Bull driver claimed Russell had pushed for the grid penalty which cost Verstappen pole p🌜osition at the previous round in Qatar.

In Abu Dhabi, Russell claimed Verstappen had threatened to “put me on 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:my f***ing head in the wall” and blasted the reigning worl♓d 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 Russ𒅌ell were asked about their spat in the FIA press conference after finishing second and third in Sunday’s season-🍰opening Australian Grand Prix.

Asked if they had cle♋ared the air, Verstappen flatl🍌y joked: “No, it’s still shockingly bad.

The four-time world champion ratherꦰ unconvincingly 🐓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 between the pair. 

Verstappen to Mercedes off the cards

Verstappen and Russell are unlikely to be teammates at Mercedes, with team boss Toto Wolff r🍸evealing at the F1 2025 curtain-raiserဣ that the reigning world champion is no longer on their radar.

"We need to concentꦫrate on our driver line-up. I don't flirt outside if I'm in a good re♑lationship,” 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 thaꦐt 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 contracꦏt, ꦡwith the Briton’s current deal expiring at the end of the year.
