Red Bull driver and four-time F1 champion Max Verstappen gave an X-rated radio message to his team during the Miami Grand Prix.

Verstappen, 27, started the Miami Grand Prix on pole but was involved in an incident with Lando Norris on Turn 2 when the McLaren driver tried to overtake the Red Bull driver.

“When you look at it on the onboard of Lando Norris' car, you have to say that Max Verstappen definitely jinked towards Norris, I think the stewards will be having a look at that,” said 1996 F1 champion Damon Hill on BBC Radio 5 Live.

Race control noted the incident but the stewards quickly decided to take no further action against the Red Bull man.

Hill added: “I'm quite surprised at how quickly I saw Max Verstappen when I looked at his steering input, it looked to me that he put a deliberate jerk to the right on the steering to try and make sure that Lando Norris didn't go round the outside.

“I would like another look at that, I'm not sure I totally agree with their [the stewards'] decision.”

On lap 14 of 57, Verstappen was then overtaken by Norris’ McLaren teammate and current championship leader, Oscar Piastri.

Shortly after, Verstappen responded by saying: “S*** brakes man. Honestly useless”, when speaking on his team radio.

He added: “Everything is just everywhere. All over the shop."

Hill also explained how he felt Verstappen was "playing games" with Norris, he explained: "This is a very interesting comparison, you've had Oscar Piastri on Max Verstappen and now you've got Lando Norris on Verstappen.

"I think Norris has compromised himself a little bit by trying that move round the outside.

"It was obvious what Verstappen was going to do and run him off the kerb which has cost him time now.

"All the time this is going on, Verstappen is playing games with Norris in his head."

Fans also gave their thoughts on social media.

One said: "Looks to me like Lando Norris’s front wheels were clearly alongside Max Verstappen.

"Max needs a proper penalty - he needs to learn to race fairly."

Another added: "Max Verstappen will never change."

While third commented: "Max Verstappen has been an absolute gift to the 2025 F1 season."
