Max Verstappen could not resist after qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix. The Dutchman had been on the sim last week after receiving so much criticism in Hungary. According to Max Verstappen, all the people being crucial of that can "f*** off".

Max Verstappen was quite satisfied after qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix. The Dutchman knows that McLaren is very good in the long runs and is even unsure about the chosen setup. Verstappen is driving with a bigger wing. Still, Verstappen was very satisfied with his qualifying in the rain.

Verstappen is done with the criticism

"Last week I drove a lot in the rain in the sim here at Spa. Look, sim racing is not that bad after all, while most people bitch about that, but to hell with all of them. Great day, nothing to complain about," the Dutchman commented to Viaplay.

The comment comes after Verstappen was widely criticised for his late night sim race stint in the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend. People were surprised that Verstappen was sim racing late into the night. So when Verstappen finished fifth, it was used against him. Now Verstappen hit back.
