Inside Line: The FIA Bans ‘The Verstappen’, Max should treat drivers to his own masterclass

The United States Grand Prix was a joke in itself. The only saving grace was the brief wheel-to-wheel battle between Carlos Sainz Jr. and Fernando Alonso. The BIG chatter from the weekend was the FIA banning ‘The Verstappen’ and Venus Williams snubbing Martin Brundle. Shame on you, Williams.

(Martin Brundle drove a race for the Williams F1 Team in 1988 – had Venus Williams known this fact, would she still have snubbed Brundle?)

How do Formula 1 drivers ensure that they don’t become victims of ‘The Verstappen’? Ask the FIA to ban it! Ridiculous or sensible? Either way, history suggests that the FIA could well un-ban what they’ve banned in the first place.

Actually, instead of banning ‘The Verstappen’ the FIA should have allowed Max Verstappen to host a session for the other drivers on how to pull off ‘The Verstappen’. He’s the one driver that’s brought some cheer to Formula 1. Okay, Daniel Ricciardo too.
