The war of words between Johnny Herbert and Max Verstappen has continued still with the FIA steward questioning why the Dutch driver didn't race in Mexico in the same manner as he did in Brazil. Things have been tense between the Dutch driver and the former racer as Herbert's integrity while adjudicating events has been brought into question.
It all started in Austin, where Verstappen and Lando Norris were involved in an intense battle that was decided in the Dutch driver's favor after he made use of the loophole in racing regulations. Going into the race in Mexico, there were question marks over the state of the racing regulations as many drivers and observers felt that the current regulations were a deterrent to fair racing.
During the race weekend in Mexico, Verstappen hinted at "British Bias" in F1 when he said that he had the "wrong passport" for the sport. This continued into the race as the driver was given two 10-second time penalties for his incidents with Lando Norris.
