According to the Bild newspaper, the "Red Bull" leadership is dissatisfied with the actions of 28-year-old driver and four-time "Formula 1" champion Max Verstappen, who refused to start a press conference in the team's hospitality suite on Thursday's media day.
Idman.Biz reports that Max Verstappen refused to start the press conference in the team's hospitality suite until the journalist from "The Guardian" left.
According to German journalists, "Red Bull" CEO Laurent Mekies summoned Verstappen on Friday morning for a discussion about the incident. Mekies listened to the Dutch driver's story and made it clear that "Red Bull" is not a team that kicks journalists out the door.
It is noted that this dialogue was a test for Laurent, as many mechanics and engineers of the Austrian team work there because of Max, and Mekies does not want to strain relations. After the discussion, the matter was closed, and Verstappen avoided fines and other sanctions.
