Lauda: Verstappen must sort himself out

Niki Lauda was another big name in the paddock to criticise Max Verstappen's late-race lunge down the inside of Sebastian Vettel at the turn 14 hairpin. The contact ruined both of their races and landed Verstappen a time penalty as well.

Mercedes non-executive chairman Niki Lauda says Max Verstappen was completely at fault for his clash with Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel and that he needs to "sort himself out".

Lauda added to the mounting list of critiques saying Verstappen's young age was no longer an excuse and that he should be above mistakes of such a kind by this point in his career.

"It was completely Max’s fault," said Lauda.

"He is not young,” Lauda added.
