The Qatar Grand Prix was a disappointing one for Red Bull’s Max Verstappen. The Dutch driver was beaten by his arch-rival Lewis Hamilton on Sunday’s race. But the drama escalated after the Grand prix as Red Bull’s Christian Horner made some remarks about the marshal. This incident saw the team boss visit the stewards.

In Saturday’s qualifying session, Pierre Gasly suffered a horrible puncture, which causes the yellow flags to be brought out. Verstappen, who was trying to steal the pole position, failed to slow down. He was later given a 5-place grid penalty. Horner wasn’t pleased about it, and before the race, he criticized the marshal who waved the yellow flag.

Seeing this, the stewards from the FIA organized the marshal to meet Verstappen.

What did Horner say about the marshall?

Verstappen was trying to steal pole position from Lewis Hamilton in Saturday’s qualifying session. However, before he could do that, Alpha Tauri’s Gasly suffered a puncture, which brought the yellow flags.

The Dutch driver failed to slow down, and before Sunday’s race was given a grid penalty. Horner wasn’t pleased and made comments which didn’t suit the stewards.

Speaking to Sky Sports, he said, “I think it’s just a rogue marshal that’s stuck a flag out. He has not been instructed to by the FIA. They’ve got to have control of their marshals, it’s as simple as that.”

However, Horner is satisfied with Verstappen’s race, as came second after starting the race in seventh place. With a week off from Formula One, he hopes that his team can bounce back at Jeddah and prevent their arch-rivals, Mercedes, from winning the next race.
