“Max, can you imagine other drivers being a bit nervous being your team-mate as it can damage their careers?” Verstappen: “Well, I dunno… I think everybody always tries to do the best they can so… I don’t know what to answer… it’s a bit shitty.. to answer, I mean.”

Dutch reporters (yes nu.nl and ad.nl, I’m looking at you) ask the most awkward, poorly phrased questions that ooze Verstappen fanboyism.

For the love of god, if you get one question in an entire press conference can you please prepare enough so that your single question is a coherent sentence, is expected to yield an interesting answer and that it’s one not horribly awkward for the person you’re addressing?

I say this as a Dutchman by the way so on behalf of the rest of us; sorry.
