Max Verstappen’s participation in a charity sim racing event saw the Dutch driver fall foul of a practical joke by an F1 fan. Verstappen was taking part in a 23-hour endurance event, called ‘The Race for Mental Health’,

His frustrations with Herbert actually spanned back to the race in Singapore, after which the former Sky Sports F1 pundit criticised Verstappen for swearing during the Thursday press conference. The FIA punished him for this, but the Red Bull driver was furious thereafter and has stood his ground on the matter since.

Max Verstappen suggested there may be a 'British bias' in decision making by the F1 stewards, as he reacted to his 20 seconds' worth of penalties when battling Lando Norris in Mexico last week
