People can’t handle truth – Max Verstappen fumes after Saudi Grand Prix penalty

Max Verstappen said he could not share his true feelings after being penalised during the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix as “people can’t handle the truth”.

Pole-sitter Verstappen was handed a five-second penalty for cutting the corner at turn one to stay ahead of Oscar Piastri, allowing the McLaren man to jump in front at the pit stops and he never looked back.

Australian Piastri made it back-to-back wins and three for the season to take the championship lead and move 10 points ahead of team-mate Lando Norris at the top of the standings, with Verstappen two points further back.

Charles Leclerc was third for Ferrari ahead of Norris in fourth.
