“We have seen it all these years, Checo is a grand prix winner - a multiple grand prix winner, so I cannot comprehend," Wolff said to media including RacingNews365.com. “We’ve seen that Max has destroyed every single team-mate that was with him.

"Whether it is his ability to create a car around himself that is just very tricky to control, but fast when you can [control it], and that creates those gaps."

In response, Verstappen fired back at the Mercedes team principal, dismissing his remarks as 'bull**** comments.'

“It’s not like that, I just drive the car the fastest way possible. I’m not there to tell the guys [to] give me more because that’s how I like it," Verstappen said. “I just say to design me the fastest car and I’ll drive around that because every single year, every car drives a little bit differently.

“People ask 'what is your driving style?' My driving style is not something particular. I adapt to what I need for the car to go quick. For me, what is very important is that you are able to adapt your driving style to what the car needs.”
