Max Verstappen does not shy away from criticizing the British media. He says Sky Sports, among others, are too harsh towards drivers who are not British. To prove that Sky Sports is not against Verstappen, Craig Slater got a haircut featuring the Red Bull driver's championship logo.
Verstappen VS the British media
In 2024, it was an issue once again. Now, several reporters have departed. One of those was Damon Hill, who was very critical of Verstappen and his behaviour at the Mexican Grand Prix. He argued that the four-time world champion is willing to take punishments, hoping to benefit in other ways. After his incredible drive in Brazil, he asked where the British press were as it seemed they were missing from the press conference.

Craig Slater, however, wanted to show that the British media doesn't have a preference and that he supports Verstappen with a haircut dedicated to him. The haircut features the new championship logo - M4X. Formula One photographer Kym Illman photographed the hairstyle.

Verstappen reacted in surprise to the reporter's new haircut: "Oh my god. You did a great job! I'm really impressed. I'm not going to get it myself, but I appreciate it. Well done!"
