It was the second weekend in a row in which Max Verstappen was making the wrong sort of headlines. The 20-year-old almost came to blows with Lews Hamilton again before contact with Sebastian Vettel changed the race entirely and earned him a penalty.
Max Verstappen has rebuffed calls for him to calm down. The young Dutchman collided with Sebastian Vettel, who was in third place at the time, effectively ruining both of their races.
While the Red Bull man did apologise to Vettel after the race, he doesn't believe there is any need for him to rethink his behaviour out on track.
"Just at the moment it’s just not going the way I like, but does it really mean I have to calm down? 
"I don’t think so.

"It’s just very unfortunate those things happening. 
"I just need to analyse everything and try to come back stronger for the next race."
Verstappen is currently seventh in the driver standings, behind Fernando Alonso, after underperforming in 2018 so far.
