Verstappen refused his team’s request to let teammate Perez overtake him at the F1 Sao Paulo Grand Prix, in an attempt to earn Perez extra points in his bid to finish second in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 standings.

Ferrari’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc𒉰 ultimately pipped Per♎ez to second, behind champion Verstappen.

“It’s not about saying🥀 sorry.,” Verstappen s💦aid to Sky. 

“It’♑s more about what happened this year. Something happened. 

“We didn’t cꦿommunicate well enough to each other and to the team. Iꩲ gave my stance in Mexico about it. 

“We should have cleared it way sooner, then we wouldn’t have had that issue in Brazil. Like a relationship, communication is key. You always say communication is key in a relationship, an✤d this is like a relationship.”

Verstappen refused to confirm whic﷽h incident “this year” contributed to his refusal to accept team orders - it has been widely reported that it was his belief that Perez intentionally crashed during Monaco qualifying to deny Verstappen a chance to claim pole position.

The two-time champion’s refusal to help his teammate was notable in part because Perez played a role in the notorious 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix finale, by making 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s race difficult.

“Checo, th𝓡at evening, did amazingly to hold him up so much,” Verstappen admitt🌠ed.
