Vettel was announced as having signed up to drive his 2011 title-winning RB7 earlier this week, while Red Bull reserve Ricci🐟ardo will run in an RB8 from 2012. 

Speaking ahead of this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix, Verstappen revealed h♑e was denied the same opportunity. 

“I wanted to do it but I was not allowed from Helmut,” Verstappen said. “He knew I’d try go to ꦐthe limit. I would have loved to do it.

“I heard this thing was coming up and Helmut, because I think we were sitting at a table when it came up, he was like ‘no, no, no you’re not doing 𒅌that’.”

Asked why he didn’t use his sway within Red Bull to persuade his bosses to change their minds, Verstappen 🍸answered: “I don’t want to start unnecessary 🌳issues. I found it quite funny.”

Verst💖appen played down the risks of driving around ‘The Green Hell’ and pointed out that modern F1 circuits still pose ✤dangers. 

“It’s also risky to drive ജhere [in M❀ontreal],” the two-time world champion said. 

“It depends how you hit a barrier. But that’s normally not the plan of course, ജhopefully one day I’ll get ꦆto do it.”

He added: “Ideally, that would have been amazing in an F1 car. But if it's not allowed in an F1 car, then mꦰaybe one day in a GT3 car."
