Max Verstappen under the spotlight

The great and good of Formula One have rounded on Max Verstappen after the Dutchman’s banzai driving took centre stage again following a dramatic Chinese Grand Prix.

Despite Daniel Ricciardo pulling off a Red Bull tactical masterstroke to secure a quite remarkable win, it was the aggressive tactics deployed by his hot-headed team-mate which dominated the paddock discourse for a second weekend in succession.

Seven days ago in Bahrain, Verstappen collided with Lewis Hamilton, but in Shanghai, it was Hamilton’s championship rival Sebastian Vettel who would feel the full force of the brilliant, yet exuberant Dutchman.
