168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen has been called out by former Mercedes F1 chief Norbert Haug following his clash with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell at the Spanish Grand Prix.

Verstappen received a 1👍0-second penalty for causing a collision with Russell as they battled for fourth place in the closing stages of Sunday’s race at Barcelona following a late Safety Car restart.

The Dutchman appeared to be following instructions from Red Bull to cede position to Russell following a separate iಌncident at Turn 1 when he suddenly accelerated and drove into the side of his rival’s M𓆉ercedes at Turn 5.

Verstappen took the chequered flag in fifth place but was demo🦹ted to 10th once his penalty ꧂was applied, costing him valuable ground in the world championship to McLaren’s Oscar Piastri, who claimed his fifth win in nine races.

The Red Bull dr🦩iver’s behaviour did not impress former vice president of Mercedes-Benz Motorsport Haug, who felt Verstappen did not act like the four-time world champion he is.

"I was completely b𝔍lown away,” ౠHaug told Sky Sports Germany.

“I couldn't 𒊎believe someone would lash out like that. At least he apologised today. But I think the whole chain of events needs to be examined again - and I'd very much like to do that.

"To me, today's apology was misꦛsing two very simple words at the end: 'Sorry, George.' And maybe he could still apologise to the stewards. That shouldn't have happened. It's a good start, but as we all know, a beautiful ending is what makes it complete.

"So I would have expected him to say: 'I apologise 🔯to George, I apologise to the FIA for my misconduct, and to all the fans who were watching.’

"He's a person who is admired - and rightly so. Undoubtedly the very best racing driver of ou🐠r time, and has be🌌en for quite a while. And accordingly, he needs to act like it.”

Rare admission from Max Verstappen

Having initially refused to address the controversial incident in his pos✃t-race interviews, Verstappen did accept blame in an Instagram post 💮on Monday.

"We had an ex꧙citing strategy and good race in Barcelo🦩na, till the Safety Car came out," Verstappen wrote.

"Our tyre choice to the end and some moves after the safet✨y car restart fuelled my frustration, leading to a move that was not right and shouldn't have happened.

"I always give everything out there for the team and emotions can run high. You ♏win some together, you lose some together. See you in Montreal."
