Four-time F1 world champion168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Max Verstappen has hit out at what he perceives to be 💎a “bias” in the British media’s coverage of hi♛m.

Verstappen took aim at British media a෴fter his stunning fightback victory from 17th on the grid at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, joking they “didn’t know w♒here the press conference is”.

The Dutchman’s comments came after he received criticism from 1996 world champion Damon Hill, as well as ex-British F1 drivers Martin Brundle and Johnny Herbert, following controversial clashes with title rival 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris

“Sometimes in racing ﷺsituations, or battles, or certain penalties, and the way people look at﷽ success and how much credit they give you or not, I definitely feel that there is a bias,” Verstappen told .

“The problem in F1 is that 80 to 85 per cent of the media is British. And I did feel that some things which were written about me were not fair. I am not go🍌ing ♉to sit here and single out one broadcaster, but I just had to laugh about what was said. I was like ‘whatever’.

“At the end of the da♚y yes, [I have four titles] and they are the ones in front of a microphone. I speak out. I don’t care. If I don’t agree with something I will tell you.

“On the track, I will put it all on the line. I am not going to back out. I want to win. That needs to be the end𝓰 result. Some people criticise me foღr that.

“But most of thꦑem don’t have a championship-winning mentality so they don’t understand, and they will never understand🌳 that kind of approach.”

On whether he expects the coverage 🍸will change, the Red Bull driver said: “It depends a lot if you are fighting against a British driver. If I was fighting Charles [Leclerc] for example, it would be way less of a problem.”
