Max Verstappen has expressed his criticism to the FIA after the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. Ralf Schumacher thinks this is remarkable because he was indeed guilty.

The collision between the Dutchman and Lewis Hamilton is the most talked-about moment after the race in Jeddah, as the duel between the two drivers reached new heights. Verstappen got a total of fifteen seconds added to his time as a penalty, but he does not agree.

The Dutchman felt aggrieved and showed that clearly after the race. Team boss Christian Horner also told Sky Sports UK earlier that the Red Bull Racing driver is treated unfairly. He gets punished for things that other drivers get away with. Schumacher thinks this criticism is nonsense and a "loss [of] reality."

"Those incidents are not comparable. That is regulated internally. The FIA is not interfering. It's clear that he braked at the wrong moment. We don't need to talk about that," said the German at Sky Germany.
