Max Verstappen doubles down on Instagram post accusing Red Bull of ‘bullying’
Max Verstappen has doubled down on his decision to like an Instagram post from former Caterham F1 driver Giedo van der Garde, which accused Red Bull of ‘bullying’ after they dropped Liam Lawson just two Grands Prix into his career with the team. Lawson was promoted as a replacement for Sergio Perez, whose struggles cost Red Bull a shot at retaining the Constructors’ Championship title in 2024.
However, after failing to score points or exit Q1 in his first two race weekends, the New Zealander was unceremoniously dumped ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix. The decision caused outrage in some corners of the paddock, and former Caterham racer Van der Garde took to Instagram to offer his thoughts on Lawson’s sacking. The post was liked by Verstappen, making his feelings on the verdict clear.
