The Mercedes team, led by Toto Wolff, did not show its most accommodating side during and after the race weekend in Brazil. The team boss did not have a good word to say about the decisions made by the stewards during the weekend. Max Verstappen sees the 'true nature' of the rival team emerging.

Wolff showed his most fanatical side before, during and after the Brazilian Grand Prix. He accused the stewards of bias in the decision to declare Lewis Hamilton 's rear wing illegal and called the decision not to penalise Verstappen for the incident during the race 'laughable.' He also said that diplomacy in the sport is now over.

Verstappen is not shocked by the behaviour of his rivals. "Their true colors are starting to show," he told NOS in the press conference in Qatar when Wolff's statements are cited.

The Dutchman does not want to waste words on the matter, as it is not his team. Regarding Mercedes' protest, he maintains a relaxed attitude. "It's out of my control, I have to concentrate on what's happening on the track," concludes the Red Bull driver.
