Martin Brundle criticises Max Verstappen’s “clown” moan: “It’s not the worst job, is it?”
The F1 champion complained 🐼that the inaugural Vegas race was “99 percent shꦦow and one percent sporting event”.
But he has been dealt a stern reminder t🐎hat his job inc𒈔ludes the type of marketing events that have been particularly prevalent in Vegas.
“If he doesn’t li💞ke it, I’m not sure he needs to say anything at all,” Brundle said o꧙n Sky.
“I was a bit disappointed by that.
“Standing on a rostrum and waving at🤪 a lot of adulation from the fans… it’s not the w🐓orst job in the world, is it?
“You’re not on shift work or down the mines…
“I 🧸don’t understand why he feels so negative abou💝t it.
“I sat with some mates having a be🉐er in the Bellagio, before I heard those comments, I said ‘I’m so envious of these drive🧜rs, they get given such a platform, and such credit where it’s due’.
“What a wonderful experience it must be, to be a grand prix driver now withꦕ these facilities.
“Then I read ♑[his comments]. So I was🏅 a bit surprised.”
Jenson Button agreed: “Yes, surprꦜised that he was so𝔍 outspoken.
“But that’s the way Max is. He wants to g♔o racing. That’s all he wants to do, it seems!
“But there are other parts to this j♐ob, as we all know.
“𓄧The racing is the fun bit. We get paid to do the other stuff.”
Danica Patrick added: “I get what Max is saying. “You are always going to push ba🌟ck, as 🥀a driver.
“You don’t want to do anything else except drive.
“But there has to be an understanding🐻 for the balance of it all.
“There will be events like this, wherꩵe ꦉthere’s a lot, and then events where you won’t have much to do.”
