Max Versaben says that “frustration” led to his collision with George Russell during the Spanish Grand Prix and that this step “was not correct and should not happen.”
Russell said that the hero of the Formula 1 world “failed himself” by deliberately driving to Mercedes, the British driver in Barcelona.
The Red Bull driver, who won in the past four championships, received a 10 -second sentence of the accident, which brought down the Dutch from the fifth to the tenth in the final result.
In response to Russell's comments, Versaben said on Sunday that he “will attend some tissues next time” and that the collision was “worse.”
But Monday, the 27 -year -old posted on social media:and external “We had an exciting strategy and a good race in Barcelona, until the safety car came out.
“The choice of our tires to the end and some moves after restarting the safety car has fed my craps, which led to a step that was not correct and should not happen.
“I always give everything there to the team, and the emotions can run high. You win each other together, lose each other together.”
Versaben's penalty kick left 49 points behind the championship leader Oscar Pastari from McLaren, who won a Sunday race from his teammate Lando Norris.
Verstapen also got three penalty points for his license. This takes the world champion four times to 11, and it is less than the banning of the race.
