Damon Hill Urges Red Bull To Rein In Verstappen’s Aggressive Driving After Mexico City GP Clash
Verstappen's actions, which included two aggressive moves against title rival Lando Norris, led to two separate 10-second penalties and two penalty points on his super license, ultimately narrowing his championship lead over Norris to 47 points ahead of this weekend’s Sao Paulo Grand Prix.
Hill, a seasoned critic of racing conduct, believes Red Bull has been overly permissive with Verstappen, allowing him a level of freedom on track that could potentially harm his long-term reputation. “There’s never any attempt to publicly describe his driver in a way that other people would recognise it,” Hill said on the Sky Sports F1 Podcast. “It is always a protective comment from Christian about Max. It almost appears as though Max is free to do whatever he likes.”
