F1 Insider Sounds Alarm: Calls for Immediate Verstappen Re…read more

A leading Formula 1 insider has sparked fresh controversy by urging the FIA to launch an immediate review into Max Verstappen’s recent on- and off-track behavior, warning that the reigning world champion’s conduct is “pushing the limits of professionalism and sporting fairness.”

The call came after Verstappen’s explosive reaction to the Spanish Grand Prix, where he publicly criticized his team, skipped key debriefs, and stormed out of the paddock without attending mandatory engagements. While tensions in F1 are nothing new, some insiders believe Verstappen’s recent actions cross a line.

“It’s time the FIA steps in and evaluates this situation properly,” said the unnamed insider, speaking to Racing Report. “There’s a pattern of emotional outbursts and disregard for team and media responsibilities. No driver, no matter how talented, should be above the sport’s standards.”

The insider also pointed to Verstappen’s increasingly aggressive racecraft, which has raised eyebrows among rivals and sparked debates about track limits and driving etiquette. While Red Bull has remained publicly supportive, whispers in the paddock suggest team harmony is under strain.

FIA officials have yet to respond to the calls, but the growing scrutiny around Verstappen could prompt formal discussions if similar incidents continue.

With the championship battle heating up and Verstappen still firmly in contention, the spotlight on his every move is only intensifying.
