Red Bull Racing’s Max Verstappen has come under scrutiny after being accused of reckless driving by former world champion Damon Hill. The criticism follows a controversial performance at the Mexico City Grand Prix, where Verstappen received a combined 20-second penalty for two separate incidents involving title rival Lando Norris.
During the race, Verstappen and Norris had a contentious exchange on track, leading to a collision that raised safety concerns. Norris, who finished in second place, described Verstappen’s driving as “dangerous,” highlighting the need for greater caution among competitors.
Hill drew attention to the clarity of the race footage, stating on a Sky Sports podcast, “The area footage is very clear.” His comments suggest that the incidents were not only avoidable but indicative of a concerning trend in Verstappen’s approach to racing.
Verstappen ultimately finished sixth in the race, and the penalties have sparked discussions about his aggressive driving style as the season progresses. As the championship heats up, all eyes will be on Verstappen to see how he responds to the mounting pressure and criticism.
