Max Verstappen has found time to poke fun at his F1 friends as he powers towards a third consecutive world title.
David Coulthard almost fell victim to the Dutchman’s antics in Austria earlier this month, with Verstappen intentionally missing the 13-time Grand Prix winner by inches before taunting him on the journey home.
“I went down into the top-three driver interviews so I was standing just before the Red Bull garage in the pit lane with my back to the FIA garage door,” Coulthard explained to Eddie Jordan on the Formula For Success podcast.
“Max came past and I’ll show you the video. He went past about half a metre away from my feet. I couldn’t go any farther back and he pulls into the pit box. I filmed it and I thought, ‘God, that was a bit on the edge.’
“I was flying back with Max to the south of France, back to Monaco. He comes in and goes, ‘Did you like how close I got to you in the pit lane?'”
