Verstappen thinks Russell has to mind his own business: "He doesn't know anything"

Max Verstappen had a bad qualifying session, but Alexander Albon's thirteenth place was a complete disappointment for Red Bull Racing. That even puts them behind George Russell's Williams.

Afterwards Russell said that he felt sorry for his Thai friend, because people now think he is 'an idiot, but he absolutely is not'. With which Russell seems to suggest that his friend is being wronged by the team

It is a comment that shoots somewhat in the wrong throat at Verstappen, because to GPblog.com he says the following about it: "George knows nothing at all about the team, so it is better that he focuses on his own car and his performance, rather than speaking for someone else".

That's exactly what Verstappen does. "I can only speak for myself and I'm just always trying to get the most out of the car. If the car can't reach pole position, it doesn't mean I'm giving up. Of course, I still want to push the limit."
