Max Verstappen Has Made A "mini Press Conference" Outside After Refusing To Talk In The FIA Press Conference

Watching practice 1 rn and whoever this guy is, I hope him and his max verstappen bear have a great day

Honestly my favourite thing about this entire Max vs the FIA ordeal is the fact that he still made sure to tell the reporter "this is not towards you, dont worry" and let reporters ask their questions outside of the media pen because his annoyance was never directed at them

Pre-Bahrain Live

F1 was live on instagram a few minutes ago, with Lawrence Barnetto interviewing a couple of the drivers! Here are some of my favourite moments while I try and stay awake for the race :))

Lawrence interviewing oscar piastri with his autographed shirt

Lewis going "you rated me pretty low on the predictions" and making Lawrence freak out for a few seconds

Daniel Ricciardo! Nothing happened beyond him talking about his expectations for the car and the race, I just wanted to include him

And, of course, Spider-man waving to the drivers

Bonus: Lando being handed a mic and then turning back to whatever George was saying instead of actually doing the interview (did not get a screenshot, unfortunately) and the cameraman focusing on 1644 every time they could.

A summary of the Saudi Arabian GP! You’ll never believe who won this one

Albon's car hit the ground during a pit stop and they turned it off to check everything, but he came out to set another time

Holy Moly! I had a big moment in turn 4" - Russell, almost hitting the wall

Montreal ✅

Daniel in the points + Alex's overtake + Hamilton setting the fastest lap + Max win means this weekend is officially one of my favourites this season. If only Logan didn't DNF and Yuki didn't crash 🥲🥲
