   Verstappens vs The British   
   01 Mar 25 12:02:59

   So, after the booing at the launch shindig, Jos ran his mouth off on   
   behalf of his son, saying that he'll not be attending future events in   
   England, and generally sounding off about Brit-bias. This came up time and   
   again last season, the Verstappens would routinely call out the British   
   press/media/fans as anti-Dutch.   
      
   Now, you didn't ever hear so much of that kind of thing when Max was   
   dominant, it seemed to come to the fore once his car started to let him   
   down, and then he got rattled and started driving in to and clashing with   
   other drivers, too; the Norris incident, the Russell spat.   
      
   So, is Max already rattled before the season has even started? I watched a   
   bit of the testing this week, and what I saw and heard didn't suggest Red   
   Bull have pulled it together and given him another dream car to drive.   
      
   He's got a hefty amount of points on his super licence and needs to keep   
   his nose clean until June before some of them are wiped off. If he's got a   
   gash car, I don't think he'll be able to keep it in check; he's proven   
   that he's got a shocking tempremant. Between on-track shenanigans and   
   swearing in interviews, I reckon a race ban is almost nailed on for him at   
   some point in the first half of the season.   
      
   He's a great driver, don't get me wrong, but he is a petulant, spoiled   
   child, and there will be fireworks at some point!
