Internet reacts to Verstappen and Perez duel: 'Red Bull deserved a penalty'

After the Formula 1 sprint race for the Austrian Grand Prix, the duel between Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez is the talk of the day. The Red Bull Racing drivers fought for the lead on the first lap, not giving each other a millimetre of space.

On social media, reactions to the duel between the teammates in the first few corners of the Red Bull Ring are rife. Some viewers believe that both Verstappen and Perez deserved a penalty for the push and pull, but the FIA stewards thought otherwise.

Opinions are divided about the sprint race in general: where some speak of an exciting race, others call it a 'snoozefest'. Moreover, some comment that the gap that Verstappen managed to build up in half an hour was very big indeed.
