Verstappen's dad: "Max showed who the KING is"

And he also added, "that the Brits can now shut up" - these are strong words, but if we look at the events and punishments of the past weeks, and the statements made, it's not certain that they were without basis.

Max Verstappen achieved a sensational victory at the Brazilian Grand Prix despite all the factors that hindered him. At the press conference after the race, he didn't forget to jab at the journalists, especially the disgracefully absent British media... He settled for such "revenge", but his father, Jos Verstappen, went further:

"They did everything to throw him off his game and his good mood, but I want to point out that this only motivates him and makes him stronger! This victory was the perfect response to the Brits, I hope now all the commentators and journalists will keep their mouths shut!

And to those who say he needs to change his style, I say: his driving style is perfect. He improved six places in the first lap, it's phenomenal what he does under such circumstances. But I knew this about him, as we worked a lot on this ability together. I am very proud of what he showed today, and now the whole world could see who the best driver in Formula 1 is!" - the elder Verstappen used grand words.
