F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix: 5 Talking Points

3 - Mad Max in the Desert

Verstappen was not a happy man for most of Sunday's race

Another week, another Red Bull v Renault rant. Max Verstappen qualified respectably for today's race, but fell down to 10th when the Safety Car was brought out for Hulkenberg's crash. The Dutchman wasted no time in recovering, though, muscling his way past the Force India of Esteban Ocon, but the two would soon come to blows once again.

Max's engine began to overheat, forcing him to slow down on the straight and be repassed by Ocon, much to his rage. If the first move was forceful, the second was dangerous, diving down the inside at the hairpin and making contact with the Frenchman. Verstappen's engine eventually ran normal once again, but that won't stop RBR from being glad that they're switching to Honda for next year. However, it was far from all bad news for Verstappen.
