Max Verstappen delivered yet another X-rated team radio message during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix practice session.

After a two-week break, Formula 1 returned on Friday as the teams continued to gear up for one of the trickiest races on the calendar.

The 20 best drivers in the world will race around the Baku City Circuit on Sunday, with the first two free practice sessions taking place on Friday.

During FP2, Verstappen, who has not won a race since tasting victory at the Spanish Grand Prix in June, was far from happy with the weather conditions.

Speaking on the team radio, the Dutchman blasted: “I just struggle a lot with visibility, man. I can't see sh*t with this sun”

Reacting on social media, one fan said: “Max: "I just struggle a lot with visibility, just sh*t with this sun!" No car issues but he's beefing w the sun.”

Another tweeted: “Nice to hear him having issues not related to the car.”

A third fan added: “Someone get him a different sun ASAP.”

Someone else wrote: “Yes give this guys sun block for eyes.”

In previous years, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix was held during spring, but for the 2024 season, the race has been moved to autumn.

It is believed that by moving the Japanese Grand Prix to April, shifting the Azerbaijan Grand Prix to September and pairing the Qatar and Abu Dhabi weekends will give the 2024 schedule a better flow for races in specific parts of the world.

This is done in a bid to help teams manage the calendar more effectively from a logistical point of view.

Ahead of this weekend, the big news was the confirmation that former Red Bull designer Adrian Newey will move to Aston Martin next year.

Reacting to the news, Verstappen said: “I think everyone would like to work with Adrian, I guess, in their career. So yeah, potentially it is (a more attractive proposition), yeah.

“I have other worries at the moment that I'm paying a lot of attention to and working on. So that is something maybe for the future that I think about, not now.”
