Former F1-driver and current pundit David Coulthard had some comments about the Verstappen-Hamilton incident in lap two of the race, saying that Verstappen was a bit too aggressive.

"Verstappen did well in the first corner, but after that, he was a bit too aggressive for me," the Scot said.

"He kept his steering wheel open which, as every driver knows, is sort of a slap in the face.

"It wasn't necessary because he could've gone for the correct racing line in the next turn."

Verstappen said that Hamilton turned into him, but Coulthard begs to differ, saying Hamilton had nowhere to go.

"When Max looks back on this race, he needs to realize that he needs to give other drivers more space."

"Hamilton had no space on the track to go to."

All in all, it was a very disappointing weekend for Red Bull, given that both of their cars retired from the race within the first five laps, even though they were predicted to do very well at Sakhir.
