Verstappen overtakes Mercedes exiting pit lane: è controversy

Max Verstappen causes controversy again: during the second free practice session in Abu Dhabi, the world champion overtook the two Mercedes cars exiting the pit lane with a borderline maneuver, sparking controversy.

After the second red flag, the single-seaters were slowly returning to the track.The impatient Red Bull driver overtook first George Russell, then Lewis Hamilton and Pierre Gasly.

"At the’exit from the pit lane they had to move, they were all going slowly and I had to get on track because Ié had little time – Verstappen justified himself è justified -. They kept getting in the way and once I tried to pass they tried to push me against the wall, and clearly that" not good,è the Dutchman&39;s attack.

The balance of the free practice: "I wasn&#39t able to get much out of this session, partly becauseé our balancing was quite out of phase with a lot of jumping and a lot of understeer, so we will have to figure it all out by tomorrow".
