Max Verstappen has addressed his driving style ahead of the Brazilian Grand Prix. The Dutchman has been in the spotlight since he got two ten-second penalties in one lap in the battle against Lando Norris.

Subsequently, the three-time world champion received a lot of criticism for his actions. As soon as he arrived in Brazil, Verstappen addressed whether he will adjust his driving.

Verstappen: 'I've been in F1 for ten years, I know what I'm doing'

Verstappen qualified on the front row of the grid each of the past three races, but came up short against Ferrari and McLaren in the race. "Well this has been a little bit the case for most of the season lately. It's a bit difficult to explain why that is. I don't think it's just entirely up to us but we'll see. We'll try to be as competitive as we can be. every track is a bit different. Also here, new tarmac so again it's a few question marks," Verstappen said.

Verstappen then addressed his driving style. "I've heard that before right in my career, it's my 10th year in Formula One. I think I know what I'm doing," the three-time world champion responded clearly.
