Montoya: “Verstappen has more problems in life than he should have if you give weight to what I say”

The Colombian goes on the counterattack “I don’t know what problems he has. I really don’t know what to do with a person who talks so much nonsense. I don’t understand why people like that sometimes get paid by the F1 management, given that sometimes he works for them. It’s not ideal to have a person around the paddock who spouts so much nonsense, right? I think it’s the classic case of someone who has to say something different from everyone else to be relevant. I don’t care much, they’re his problems. I live my life and I don’t I let myself be influenced by this.” This is how Max Verstappen addressed Juan Pablo Montoya in a recent interview with the Telegraaf. Montoya’s response didn’t take long to wait: “No, there’s no drama between me and Max and if there is, honestly, if he got angry about it, then he has more problems in life than he should have,” said the Colombian reached by sports betting. “I’ve talked to Max Verstappen in the past and during races, and we actually get along very well. We don’t spend time chatting, but we say hello and I also say hello to Jos,” added Montoya, “we’ve never had any problems and I don’t think there are any now. I think, though, he was wrong to drive that Mercedes at the Nürburgring. Since Ford is investing so much money in the sport with Red Bull, driving a Mercedes was simply wrong. I don’t think Max Verstappen It really matters what I think. The BBC interview was completely taken out of context. I said that any driver who spoke badly about F1 should get penalty points or a one-race ban, like in every other sport. If I work for you and speak badly about your company, you fire me. And they asked me if that included Max and I said ‘yes’. People asked Max what he thought of me, so obviously he reacted the same thing Max said. It’s normal. I don’t think he gives a shit, to be honest. I certainly don’t care. Martin Brundle, who never tolerated me, and the feeling is mutual, came up to me on the grid. He said: ‘I see you pissed off Max’.
