Max Verstappen, Nico Rosberg and George Russell...Credits-Getty
Former world champion Nico Rosberg claimed that Max Verstappen and George Russell getting their fists out against each other was the only thing missing from their spat. The two F1 drivers have been making public statements about each other in the media since last week when the Red Bull driver aired out his displeasure over the Mercedes driver's behavior in the steward's room after the qualifying session.
The four-time F1 world champion mentioned that he lost all respect for the British driver for how hard he lobbied to get the Dutch driver penalized for the main race last weekend.
Heading into Abu Dhabi, George Russell did not take the comments lying down and held his own press conference in the Mercedes hospitality area where he called out Max Verstappen as a "bully" and further claimed that the Dutch driver believed that he was above the law.
