Some drama to end the F1 season
George Russell has labelled Max Verstappen as a 'bully' after hitting back at the Dutchman following a row over a grid penalty at the Qatar GP
Russell: "He's gone beyond the line here and I'm not going to accept it. So somebody's got to stand up to a guy like this before it gets out of control.
"I had no intention of bringing this up. He said this to me on Saturday night and I woke up on Sunday morning feeling fine. But to come out of those press interviews saying that I'm two-faced, I'm the f-word, and this and that, he's taking this personal.
"I've known Max for 12 years. I respected him all this time but now I have lost respect him. Now he's made it personal and someone needs to stand up to a bully like this."
A very heated finale to the F1 season
