Verstappen commented:
“They can’t even control their own game. This is the third time already that has happened to me now, being kicked off the game while doing this race.”
Verstappen also warned that he will not be taking part in the event from now on.
Verstappen added:
“This is also the last time ever because what’s the point? You prepare for five months to try and win this Championship, you are leading the Championship, you try to win this race which you have prepared for two months and they handle it like this. Honestly, it is a joke. You cannot even call it an event. It’s a clown show.”
