F1 fans have firmly rejected Zak Brown’s description of Max Verstappen as a “bruiser” as the title fight nears its endgame.<\/p>\n
Verstappen can be eliminated from the title race at the Las Vegas GP if he is out-scored by Lando Norris by nine points, with the Dutchman prepared to cede his crown.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Verstappen has earned a reputation as a fierce competitor on-track and making it incredibly hard for rivals to overtake him – and sometimes crossing the limit, such as during the 2021 Sao Paulo GP when even Red Bull’s then-chief technical officer Adrian Newey admitted he went too far in defending against Lewis Hamilton.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Speaking recently to de Telegraph, Brown described how he felt Verstappen’s “arrogance” came out during grands prix.<\/p>\n
“I don\u2019t want to disparage Max\u2026. He\u2019s a four-time world champion. He can be a bruiser, too aggressive on track. His arrogance comes out,” Brown said.<\/p>\n
“If you look at some of the greatest champions in Formula 1, they\u2019ve had some arrogance about them. They get their elbows out.”<\/p>\n
After the comments, RacingNews365 ran a poll to ask readers if Brown’s description of Verstappen was fair, with an overwhelming verdict delivered opposing the American’s strong words.<\/p>\n
