Verstappen believes other drivers get away with more than him

Max Verstappen is adamant that other drivers get away with more than him and believes he is treated unfairly...

Verstappen was handed a five-second penalty following an incident with Valtteri Bottas towards the end of Monza and made his fury clear on Red Bull's team radio: "They are doing their best to kill racing!" 

At the time, the Dutch driver clearly didn't agree with the decision and he has revealed that his anger grew when he had time to watch the previous Monza races back and saw some of the other incidents.

"I was analysing other videos from the year before, because when you go back 10/15 years it is a bit irrelevant with rules and stuff, and the same happened exactly between (Lance) Stroll and (Felipe) Massa in 2017," Verstappen explained to Autosport.

"Massa was very clever and didn't clip his wheel, but stayed on the white line and took a little bit of green (runoff), but his tyre was still on the white line.

"Of course I always try to make it as difficult as possible for them to get by. And I will fight for every millimetre on track, which I did, so at the end I think it is very harsh.

"Also, looking back at what happened in Monza, other drivers just pushing each other off the track, damaging each other's cars, running into each other, and we didn't have any damage. He clipped my wheel and had to go wide.

"There was no damage and I think that is why it was very hard."

Verstappen will be determined to let his driving do the talking this weekend - in a race where Red Bull have had recent success in.
