The Mercedes driver enjoyed the stronger launch in Saturday's sprint race to dive up the inside of fourth-starting Verstappen into Turn 1 in Baku and the duo continued to run side-by-side until the exit of the Turn 3 left-hander.

In their exchange, Russell and Verstappen bumped at the apex of Turn 2, with the impact tearing a gash in the left sidepod of the Red Bull before the Dutch driver then backed out to avoid the wall.

This prompted reigning champion Verstappen, who eventually reclaimed the position to finish on the sprint race podium, to remonstrate with Russell in parc ferme and call him a “d***head”.

Russell says that he thought Verstappen was coming over to praise the duo for a good battle and that the Red Bull driver had plenty of time to wait before passing later in the race.

He said: “When he first came over, I thought he was going to say, ‘Nice battle and it was a nice fight’. I was surprised at how angry he was.

“From my side, his position was already lost and ever since eight years old in go-karting, if you're on the inside at the apex of a corner, it's your corner.

“If a driver is trying to resist on the outside, they're taking a huge risk.

“On lap one on a street circuit, I was really quite shocked he was holding the position.

“But equally I'm here to fight, I'm here to win, I'm not just going to wave him by because he's Max Verstappen in a Red Bull

Well technically...

Women asked to be seen as equal to men. Why do we even have different men and women categories still.

Well, technically, **** that and **** you if you think that.

I don't know any women who asked that. Womens sport exists as a protected category for a reason.

"@HulkHulkenberg will start from the pitlane after a suspension setting change. He will join @OconEsteban, who made a similar change yesterday. Worth taking the punt and having a more optimal car given the usual carnage here.

More detail on the @HulkHulkenberg suspension change - as you might expect he's switched to @KevinMagnussen's set-up, which worked much better than his own in the sprint."

Yeah. The poor guy was totally oblivious to anything happening around him when he was young and dumb. Luckily he seems to have developed some level of awareness as he aged...

And we all agree with this marketing creep!
 
Well run Checo, he seemed to have the measure of Max here

Crazy Alpine and Haas hoping against all hope, pretty low attrition race in the end
