Red Bull sneer at Rosberg: 'Stands too far from reality'
- GPblog.com
Nico Rosberg last weekend criticised Max Verstappen for immediately leaving the track after a disappointing qualifying session. However, the opposite was true as the Dutchman was called to the hotel by his team.
According to the German, the Limburger could have been more "grateful". Rosberg proclaimed on television that the Red Bull driver had let the team down. He believed the team deserved more that a grumpy Verstappen.
Marko fires Rosberg
Helmut Marko (obviously from Verstappen's camp) reacted to the 2016 world champion's false criticism. "This shows how far Rosberg is from reality. Fortunately, Sky also has Ralf Schumacher in the team, who immediately put it right", says the Austrian at F1-insider.
According to Red Bull's consultant, Verstappen had been sent to the hotel at the team's request to regain his strength for Sunday. The world championship leader was still struggling with the after-effects of a stomach flu.
