Verstappen won't let Perez past: 'I told you last time'

Due to an incident with Lewis Hamilton, Verstappen had to fight his way to the front from the back in the race. The two-time world champion managed to get into the points and even passed Perez, but Red Bull was keen to see Verstappen give that spot back.

Indeed, Perez is busy battling Charles Leclerc for second place in the championship. As the Monegasque finished in fourth place, there was a lot at stake for the Red Bull driver to move a position further forward. However, that demand was wasted on Verstappen.

Verstappen refuses to follow team orders

Although Verstappen had little left to fight for, it was unthinkable for him to pass his teammate. "I gave my reasons and I stand by them," Verstappen said, speaking over the team radio.
