Red Bull have hit out at “rubbish” claims that168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Max Verstappen’s fury during the F1 Hungarian Grand Prix was linked t🍌o his 🐈3am sim racing sessions.

Verstappen repeatedly criticised the performance of his RB20 car and Red Bull’s strategy with a series of scathing radio messages during a frustrating run to fifth in Sunday’s race, which featured a collision with old title rival 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton.

The thꦫree-time world champion lashed out at his critics after the race, telling them to “f*** off” after some people🍸 had blasted the tone of his foul-mouthed radio rants.

Sky Sports F1 commentator David Croft suggestꦗed Verstappen’s anger might have been the result of him taking part in a sim racing event until 3am on Saturday night.

“I don’t want to sound too critical, but Max Versta🗹ppen is sounding like a man who stayed up late last night doing a sim race, which he did, and then got up early this morning to do a sim race, which he did, rather than getting a good night’s sleep in Budapest, which by the sounds of it, he could probably have done w♓ith,” Croft said.

But Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko m෴oved to reject the iꦓdea the two events were linked, telling Autosport: “He was up even longer in Imola, I don't know where the sleeping times came from again, and won the race.

“Max has a diff🐷erent rhythm to me or other people and the time he went to bed is nothing out of the ordi♏nary for him.

“He didn't even wake up at ten o'clock in Zandvoort when the helicopters flew over his motorhome. He's got his sleep quota. H🐷e's had ꦅit as usual. That's rubbish.”

Meanwhile, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said: “I🌳 think pe🐭ople draw conclusions, but Max knows what’s required and we trust his judgement on that.

“He knows what it takes to drive a grand prix car and to win grands prix a𝐆nd be a world champion. And, look, as a team, we always work as a team, and whatever discussions of how to improve will always not take place through media.”
