Max Verstappen took his ninth victory of the 2024 Formula One season at the Qatar Grand Prix on Sunday, though he wasn’t exactly in a celebratory mood after the race, accusing Mercedes’ George Russell of trying to “screw him over.

Red Bull boss Christian Horner accused George Russell of “hysterics” as the fall-out between Max Verstappen and the British driver continued following the Qatar Grand Prix. Verstappen celebrated his fourth world title by winning the race in Qatar but said afterwards that he had “lost all respect” for Russell after he was stripped of pole position the previous day.

Max Verstappen has been hit with a late penalty after qualifying for the Qatar Grand Prix, the FIA announced in an official statement. The Dutchman managed to claim his first pole position since Austria during Qatar Grand Prix qualifying, beating the Mercedes of George Russell by less than a tenth of a second.
