VIDEO: Verstappen finally sees funny side of 2017 COTA controversy
Originally written by Joas van Wingerden. This version is a translation.
After stewing on it for a year, Max Verstappen was finally able to make light of being stripped of his podium finish at the 2017 United States Grand Prix. Fast forward 12 months and Verstappen took a superb second place from 18th on the grid - having been denied third from 16th last year for exceeding track limits while overtaking Kimi Raikkonen.
