In a stunning escalation of hostilities, George Russell has launched a blistering attack on Max Verstappen, accusing the reigning champion of bullying and a blatant disregard for the rules of racing. The feud erupted after Verstappen proclaimed he had lost all respect for Russell following their contentious encounter at the Qatar Grand Prix. In a fiery response, Russell painted Verstappen as a driver who cannot handle adversity and views himself as “above the law.”

Russell’s comments, delivered during a media session, were anything but subtle. He recounted a tense exchange where Verstappen allegedly threatened to deliberately crash into him. “People have been bullied by Max for years now,” Russell asserted, challenging Verstappen’s integrity and calling out the double standards in his behavior on track. “What happens on track, we fight hard, but it’s never personal. He’s taken it too far,” Russell said, raising the stakes in their already heated rivalry.

Verstappen, not one to back down, shot back, labeling Russell a “backstabber” and dismissing his grievances as exaggerated. “I have no regrets about what I said,” Verstappen countered, further igniting the flames of their ongoing battle. The animosity between these two drivers has reached a boiling point, and it’s clear that this rivalry is no longer just part of the typical on-track drama; it’s personal.

With both drivers refusing to back down, the stage is set for a potentially explosive showdown on the track this weekend. As tensions simmer, fans are left eagerly awaiting the next chapter in this fierce rivalry—one that promises to deliver drama and intensity in equal measure. Stay tuned as the situation unfolds!
