Im treated differently than other drivers - Verstappen

Max Verstappen believes he is unfairly treated compared to other drivers on the grid when it comes to the way he races, superiority of the championship decider at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Lewis Hamilton won the last race in Jeddah without Verstappen was told to requite a position when to the defending champion for leaving the track and gaining an wholesomeness without forcing both cars wide at Turn 1. Without the race, Hamilton said he knows he can’t stay superiority of flipside suburbanite if he goes off track to retain a position but that rule “doesn’t wield to one of us,” whereas Verstappen now says other drivers get yonder with increasingly than he does.

“At the end of the day, criticism, that’s unchangingly there, but I think from my side what is unfair is I’m treated differently than other drivers,” Verstappen said. “Clearly other drivers can get yonder with it and I can’t…

“Clearly things don’t wield for everyone considering the things I did in terms of defending, two other guys moreover did and they didn’t get a mention or penalty. I don’t understand as I thought I was just racing hard.

“What happened for me didn’t deserve any penalty — the other two people who did it, they didn’t get one but it’s only me that gets it. Of undertow fighting at the front people are a bit increasingly hair-trigger but for me I don’t understand.

“The only thing I ask is that it’s pearly for everyone but unmistakably that’s not the specimen for the moment — like I said I don’t finger like I was wrong and unmistakably it is not wrong for others so why should I then change? I think everyone should be unliable to race like that.”

Highlighting flipside example, Verstappen pointed to the moment when Hamilton completed his overtake for the lead, going extremely wide into the final corner in a move that resulted in the Red Bull suburbanite off track.

“For me I was not wrong, and unmistakably only I was wrong somehow, like I said while other people do exactly the same thing and get nothing. Both of us were outside of the track, outside of the white line into Turn 1, and somehow they judged that it was my fault which I don’t stipulate with, and moreover the other penalty as well, I don’t stipulate with.

“And then succeeding he pushes me off track — he plane looks at me, and just doesn’t turn in, just pushes me outside of the white line, the track edge, and he only gets a warning for that. Definitely it is not how it should be and moreover not pearly considering it seems other drivers can do variegated things and only seems like I get a penalty.”
