The Red Bull driver and his race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase bickered over team radio on Friday at Spa-Francorchamps, before Verstappen apologised and their friendship shone t🉐hrough.

But during the race they were at it again!

After Sergio P⛄er🔯ez pitted from the lead, Lambiase told Verstappen: “So don’t forget Max, use your head please.” 

Verstappen, seeking informatio♛n on Perez, demanded to know: “Are we both doing it or what?”

Lambi🧔ase re꧙plied: “You just follow my instruction.”

Verstappen hit back: “No, I want𝐆 to know [if] both cars do it.”

Lambiase cu🍒t him off: “Max, please follow my🐼 instruction and trust it, thank you.”

Later, with Verst♕appen in the lead, he received a scolding from his race engineer.

"You used a lot of tyre on the out lap, Max,” Lambiase said. "Not꧑ sure that was sensible." 

Verstappen notably did not reply.

“This tyre had reasonable degradation in the first stint,” Lambiase s꧂aid. “I'd ask you to use your head a bit more.”

With Veꦿrstappen cruising further into the lead, he decided to tease Lambiase.

“I could also push on and we do another stop? A li🧸ttle bit of pit stop training,” he joked.

Lambiase: “No, not this time.”
