George Russell has taken his rivalry with Max Verstappen to a new level with explosive comments ahead of the season finale in Abu Dhabi.
Speaking during Thursday media duties, Russell called the four-time world champion a ‘bully’ and revealed that he threatened to ‘Put me on my f***ing head in the wall’.
The retort comes after Verstappen said his Mercedes rival should ‘f*** off’ and called out his behaviour as the pair clashed over a qualifying incident that resulted in a penalty for the Dutchman.
In his response, Russell set the rivalry alight by saying: “I find it all quite ironic seeing as Saturday night he said he was going to purposefully go out of his way to crash into me and ‘Put me on my f***ing head in the wall’.
“So to question somebody’s integrity as a person, while saying comments like that the day before, I find is very ironic, and I’m not going to sit here and accept it.
