Max Verstappen and Red Bull round on Williams' Valtteri Bottas

 
Max Verstappen suggested Valtteri Bottas wasn't thinking after the Williams driver twice overtook him into Turn One in European GP qualifying. Verstappen will start in ninth for Sunday's Baku race after what the Red Bull youngster said was a "very frustrating" session which, without a late red flag, he reckons could have ended with him qualifying on the front row.

The 18years old was critical of Bottas, after the Finn twice battled with him for position into the first corner, once in Q2 and then after the red flag in the closing seconds of Q3.
 

He said "I think nothing was going through his head at that moment, I went wide because he was locking up, so I was like 'maybe he is going to hit my side, so it's better to go wide'. But you lose that set (of tyres), you come in, and I had only one run in Q2. So it's all just very frustrating. In Formula 1 in general you can never be best buddies, but for me it's fine. Hopefully he learns from it."
