After their collision during the Azerbaijan GP, George Russell didn’t hold back in labeling Max Verstappen’s behavior as “pathetic,” calling out Max Verstappen for his aggressive driving and dismissing his reaction as immature. In response, Verstappen called Russell a “d—head,” igniting a back-and-forth between the two drivers. Russell, unafraid to speak his mind, likened Verstappen’s reaction to that of a baby spitting out a pacifier, highlighting Verstappen’s history of aggressive moves. The war of words escalated further, leaving fans fearing the worst for Russell as they await Verstappen’s possible retaliation.

In a recent interview, Russell didn’t mince his words when addressing Verstappen’s threat of retirement, suggesting that it was all a ploy for more money.

Russell humorously quipped, “I think he’s whinging because he wants more money!”

Citing the demanding nature of the sport and his desire to explore other ventures in life, the Dutchman has suggested that his career may not be as long as some of his counterparts. Fans were quick to remind Russell of Verstappen’s love for racing.
