Max Verstappen (Red Bull Racing) said he enjoyed the battle with Mick Schumacher (Haas F1 Team) at the F1 British Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen suddenly slowed down a few weeks after taking the lead over Carlos Sainz Jr. It turns out that the problem with the car, which he felt was a flat tire, was later due to debris off the Alpha Tauri on the floor.

“My car was a little dragged,” Max Verstappen said after the race.
“But I knew that Mick was really aiming for 7th place and it was fun. Of course, I wasn’t happy where I was, but the fight with someone else was interesting. In fact, it was a pretty good fight. think”
Mick Schumacher, who received the checkered in 8th place, scored the long-awaited first point in the 32nd race of F1.
Max Verstappen revealed the content of the conversation with Schumacher after the race.
“I said to him,’I knew you were fighting for points,’ and he said,’Yes, I know, but I really wanted 7th place,’ so I said,’Okay. It was a good battle. “
At some point during the battle, things were very close, especially when the two drivers passed the final corner.
Max Verstappen says Mick Schumacher knew he had to back up to prevent them from being hit by an accident.
“For me, it was like,’Well, if he didn’t back off now, we would both be retired,'” explained Max Verstappen.
“Fortunately, he’s smart enough to do that.”
