Toto Wolff’s insult aimed at Max Verstappen after the Spanish Grand Prix has angered Italian taxi drivers who have responded to the Formula 1 team principal’s jibe.

Verstappen’s aggressive racing style has once again come under scrutiny, this time after a collision with George Russell where the champion appeared to purposefully drive into the Mercedes star.

Is Wolff fair to criticise Verstappen?

Verstappen’s flash of frustration at the Spanish GP has been condemned by commentators and drivers alike, with Nico Rosberg even calling for the Dutchman to be disqualified after the race.

Following the three additional penalty points added to his licence, Verstappen will have to be especially careful not to pick up an extra point in Canada or Austria, or else he will have to serve a race ban.

Despite Verstappen’s move on Russell, the Brit finished the race in fourth, and has narrowed his gap in the standings to the champion, where 26 points now separate the two fierce rivals.
