Verstappen has a sarcastic answer for Hamilton
According to the Dutchman, his rival is miles wrong, and he, therefore, provides Hamilton with a sarcastic response. "Yes, I'm so nervous I can't sleep," Verstappen said, laughing. "From those statements, it's clear that he doesn't really know me."
According to the Red Bull Racing driver, that's not necessary either, but he stresses that he's relaxed about it and doesn't feel any extra pressure. "I'm very relaxed," said the championship leader.
