Furia Max, Sainz doesn’t agree: “He believes he can do what he wants”

Sainz against Verstappen The start of the Miami GP was full of emotions, and Max Verstappen largely provided them. The Dutchman tried to finish in turn-1 in the lead, but spun in the following change of direction: to avoid being sucked into the belly of the group, the Red Bull driver raised the level of aggression, executing very decisive maneuvers against Liam Lawson and Carlos Sainz. The Spaniard, overtaken with pure anger at the end of the braking section of the third sector, criticized Verstappen’s maneuver in no uncertain terms, which he said risked sending him into the wall. Sainz’s radio team “He pushed me out. He believes he can do anything he wants just because he is competing in the middle of the pack”, this is the comment of the former Ferrari driver. Verstappen finally got the better of both Sainz and Alexander Albon, who tried to exploit the fight between the two to gain eighth place. The Dutchman then stopped in the pits when the Safety Car was called on the track for the accidents of Isack Hadjar and Pierre Gasly to look for the wildcard in a race that otherwise risks being compromised.
