Max Verstappen<\/a> has clear advice for the media ahead of the 2026 Formula 1<\/a> season.”If you ask me a stupid question, you get a stupid answer.”- Max Verstappen<\/p>\n

In the Talking Bull podcast, the four-time world champion was asked what the media could do better in his ‘dream version’ of Formula 1.<\/p>\n

The Red Bull Racing<\/a> driver was blunt in his response: “Don’t ask that many stupid questions.”<\/p>\n

He continued: “Because if you ask me a stupid question, you get a stupid answer.”<\/p>\n

The next segment of the podcast featured questions from fans, to which the Dutchman jokingly added: “No stupid questions!”<\/p>\n

Verstappen shuts down journalist in Abu Dhabi: ‘Are you giving me a stupid grin now?’<\/p>\n

Despite a stunning comeback, Verstappen just missed out on his fifth world title at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. In the end, he finished two points behind Lando Norris in the drivers’ standings.<\/p>\n

After the race, Verstappen was once again asked about his clash with George Russell in Barcelona, and whether that cost him the title.<\/p>\n

He said:<\/a> “You forget all the other stuff that happened in my season. The only thing you mention is Barcelona. I knew that would come.<\/p>\n

“Are you giving me a stupid grin now? I don’t know. It’s part of racing in the end. You live and learn. Championship is won over 24 rounds. I’ve also had a lot of early Christmas presents given to me in the second half, so you can also question that.”<\/p>\n
