Damon Hill has doubled down on his criticism of Max Verstappen and claimed that the Red Bull driver is using "fear" and "intimidation." The last few weeks have been controversial as the Dutch driver has found himself in hot water for his tactics while defending his position.

In Austin, the driver got away by taking advantage of a grey area and finished ahead of Lando Norris. In Mexico, however, that didn't work as the tactics used by Max Verstappen to defend his position came under scrutiny from officials. The first maneuver saw him pushing the McLaren driver off-track at turn 4 in Mexico. This was followed by the Dutch driver pushing the Brit off the track again in turn 7.
