Well, seems George is doubling down on his sneaky behavior.

  1. There was no real issue on track and only George complained
  2. I believe that George was either not paying attention or he intentionally drove the way he did to have a 'case'
  3. George acts all friendly and reasonable in public but in the stewards room he tried to screw Max over
  4. He is now banking on people believing him he was threatened by Max due to Max's perceived 'dangerous driving' and certain fans willingness to see or paint Max in a negative way

This is all a bit ridiculous tbh. And if we need to believe one or the other then I will 100% believe Max as you may not like him but there is one thing we can all agree on, Max tells you straight up what he thinks and how he behaves. George on the other hand is a character I find hard to trust as he has this certain "Je ne sais quoi" about him which makes me distrust things he says.

And lets not forget, George is the guy who caused a major incident (can happen) and went straight to the other driver and started hitting him (Bottas). So before we start banking on and believing that guy we should consider that George might not be, how shall I put this, entirely right in the head and has a tendency to behave like a lunatic.

All this because George acts like a devious child and doubles down on it. What a guy....

I've also heard there's often truth to the phrase "like father like son" and this does sound like something a Verstappen might say or do.
