Verstappen's Race Engineer Pokes At Verstappen 'You See How He's Treating Me At The Moment'

F1 race engineer for Red Bull Racing driver Max Verstappen - Gianpiero Lambiase (GP) comments on the relationship with the three-time World Champion.

Max Verstappen is currently having one of the most dominant seasons in Formula One. In Sao Paulo, he won the 17th race of the season, extending the record for most wins in a single season.

However, the 26-year-old could be defined as short-tempered. Even though there does not tend to be many issues with the performances of the Dutchman or his car, he sometimes snaps back at his engineer on the team radio.

These team radios then get picked up by fans who consequently think there is a heated relationship between the two, but these rumors have been dismissed by both the driver and his race engineer in the past.
