F1 LIVE: Lewis Hamilton could face another punishment as Max Verstappen told off by dad | F1 | Sport

Max Verstappen’s dad has told his triumphant son that he must air his frustrations in a ‘neater way’ after the Dutchman’s scathing criticism of the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Verstappen – who won Sunday’s race – was not looking forward to his first outing in Sin City, raising concerns about the track.

The 26-year-old also said he felt like ‘a clown’ during a glitzy opening ceremony featuring several A-list celebrities.

Not one for the glamour, Verstappen was brutal in his criticism of the event. But father Jos believes it must be channelled differently

« I do think he can say things, but in this case in a neater way. I told him that directly, » former F1 star Jos told De Telegraaf.

Verstappen privately aired his grievance with an F1 member of staff before the race.

Jos added: « Once in a while he needs that too. I also think the battery is running out a bit, with a lot of people. But that Max likes racing, you saw that today. I understand his opinion, but you can’t kick blindly at everything. »
