The Verstappen problem that F1 fails to acknowledge
For years, the Formula 1 paddock has been praising Max Verstappen – and rightfully so. Everyone is aware of his glorious achievements and his remarkable record. The Red Bull driver keeps amazing crowds with his talent – utterly dominating seasons, grabbing pole positions when his car shouldn't be in contention, winning races as a dark horse, or making unlikely overtaking moves stick. Verstappen's racecraft is exceptional. Just look at the way he snatched the lead from Oscar Piastri at the start of the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix – few drivers actually are able to achieve such a masterful move. It was audacious, confident, precise, clever – exactly the skills the Dutchman can use to get what he wants. Advertisement The thing is, there's a dark side to Verstappen. He doesn't even really conceal it, but many in the media, his team and his fanbase pretend not to be aware of it – or just ignore it. This dark side emerged again on Sunday under intense pressure. After his team asked him to let George Russell through in the Spanish GP, Verstappen slowed down until the Mercedes driver was alongside him, then reaccelerated to hit the Silver Arrow. No honest person can truthfully believe this was anything but deliberate; there is no doubt about it, no possible nuance. Yet, the stewards handled it by handing Verstappen a similar penalty to those given to good-faith racers accidentally causing collisions. A single occurrence of such a foul move is already a problem but could be forgiven; after all, Sebastian Vettel did cross a line when he intentionally collided with Lewis Hamilton in Baku in 2017, which led to a 10-second stop-go penalty. But this isn't the first time we've witnessed Verstappen's unsportsmanlike driving. Verstappen brake-tested Hamilton in a tense Saudi Arabian GP in 2021 – an uncouth attempt at taking his title rival out of the race – and repeatedly runs his rivals off the track, like Hamilton in the 2021 Brazilian GP or Lando Norris in the 2024 Mexico race. He doesn't mind losing places in the process, as long as his opponent loses more. Advertisement The governing bodies have undeniably failed to address how frequent and intentional Verstappen's behavior is, and they won't even connect the dots to call a spade 'a spade' – to call a deliberate move 'a deliberate move'. Whether they're ignoring it on purpose or through thoughtlessness, nobody knows. Max Verstappen, Red Bull Racing, George Russell, Mercedes Max Verstappen, Red Bull Racing, George Russell, Mercedes Sam Bloxham / Motorsport Images via Getty Images Sam Bloxham / Motorsport Images via Getty Images The stewards' decision regarding the clash with Russell at Barcelona left much unsaid: 'The driver of Car 1 was clearly unhappy with his team's request to give the position back. At the approach to Turn 5, Car 1 significantly reduced its speed thereby appearing to allow Car 63 to overtake. However, after Car 63 got ahead of Car 1 at the entry of Turn 5, Car 1 suddenly accelerated and collided with Car 63. Advertisement 'The collision was undoubtedly caused by the actions of Car 1.' It is standard terminology – though somewhat comical in this context – for stewards to refer to the 'car' instead of the driver, but that's besides the point: they decided not to draw the logical conclusion from their reasoning. Everything in Verstappen's driving shows he intended to hit Russell, so he should have been disciplined taking into account how serious such an act is in racing. One week prior, in Monaco, stewards established that Russell had 'deliberately' cut the chicane – which is unsportsmanlike but much less dangerous – and they had no qualms about cracking down on the Mercedes driver with a drive-through penalty instead of the usual five or 10 seconds. At Barcelona, the situation was crystal-clear, yet Verstappen got a standard penalty, more lenient than Russell's in Monaco. Well, not completely standard as he got three penalty points on his licence instead of two. Go figure. Advertisement Verstappen has always been an extremely polarizing character, ever since his high-profile F1 debut at just 17 years of age. Many believe – or pretend to – that's just due to his elbows-out racing style, viewed as a logical symptom of his hunger for victory. However, his actions often go far beyond 'hard but fair', and he obviously stands by them given the way he usually speaks post-race. Some will be keen to deem the Spanish GP incident a mere instance of briefly losing composure, yet it just adds to all previous episodes, when Verstappen didn't get the penalties he deserved. Surely the four-time world champion, who naturally is an extremely confident athlete, is aware – more or less consciously – that when he acts this way, he never loses out. Read Also: Why is it so difficult for F1 drivers to say they're sorry? When anger and desperation take over: F1's most controversial clashes Advertisement Penalties on a case-by-case basis have never solved the problem, as his senseless Barcelona move shows. Verstappen brilliantly makes the most of the system's grey areas when he deems it necessary or feels disrespected, taking things way beyond the limits. This is not about whether a move was completed with four wheels off the track, if a driver moved under braking or who was ahead at the apex. This is about colliding on purpose – unsportsmanlike behavior onboard 800kg cars reaching 200mph. The Verstappen problem is a serious one, and the governing bodies must now diligently address it.

Mercedes-AMG CLE53 Cabriolet: The Good and the Bad
These days, convertibles are a rare breed, let alone convertibles with actual performance to boot. Most of them died decades ago, never to be seen again. The 2025 Mercedes-AMG CLE53 Cabriolet, then, is one of the last examples of a dying breed. The CLE53 has all the qualities that make a mid-range AMG great: A silky smooth engine, excellent cornering abilities, and a luxurious cabin loaded with technology. Add to that unlimited headroom, and Mercedes-AMG managed to produce a genuinely fun, open-top performance car. Not many automakers can say they still have one of those. Quick Specs 2025 Mercedes-AMG CLE53 Cabriolet Engine Turbocharged 3.0-Liter Inline-Six Hybrid Output 443 Horsepower / 413 Pound-Feet 0-60 MPH 4.4 Seconds Base Price / As Tested $83,750 / $93,150 (est.) The Good Photo by: Jeff Perez / Motor1 Lovely Powertrain Excellent Cornering Abilities Premium Cabin No Roof Convertible or not, the CLE53's powertrain is sublime. The turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six mild-hybrid setup makes 443 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, which sends the sporty convertible to 60 miles per hour in a respectable 4.4 seconds (or 4.2 seconds with the optional Race Start package, which includes launch control). The top speed is limited to 155 mph. It's managed via a nine-speed automatic transmission, and power is sent to all four wheels. It's a punchy setup. The CLE53 Cab rips off the line and races to 60 with impressive acceleration. There's an immediate burst of torque from the mild-hybrid setup, while the inline-six is sumptuously smooth up to redline. The nine-speed shifts quickly, responding at a moment's notice when you tug at the paddles. In the corners, the CLE53 exhibits excellent body control. The suspension is tight and the steering is quick; Mercedes added a good bit of extra rigidity to the chassis to make up for the lost roof, and it works wonders. Photo by: Jeff Perez / Motor1 Photo by: Jeff Perez / Motor1 If you've been in any modern Mercedes, the CLE53's cabin should look familiar. There's a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster ahead of the steering wheel and an 11.9-inch touchscreen on the dash, both running the latest version of the brand's MBUX software. No Hyperscreen , thankfully. One thing you'll get in the CLE53 Cabrio that you won't find in any of Benz's hardtops is the ability to tilt the screen to avoid glare. The CLE53's screen tilts at up to 40 degrees to keep your view unobstructed, even in the brightest environments. It's a pretty neat feature. The Bad Photo by: Jeff Perez / Motor1 A Little Stiff Clunky Software For as expertly as the suspension handles tight corners, it can be a little rocky for everyday use. In either Sport or Sport+ mode, the ride stiffens up and sends more of those road imperfections to your rump. Every piece of broken pavement is transmitted to your backside; thankfully, Comfort mode tones down the ride harshness significantly. On the infotainment side, MBUX works well enough, with a clean home screen and crisp, modern graphics. But don't go digging too deep into the screen while driving. There are so many options that trying to access even basic functions while on the move is a dangerous task. Otherwise, it's hard to find fault with the CLE53 Cab. At $83,750 to start, it's certainly not cheap, asking more than the 386-hp BMW M440i Convertible ($74,225). But the Benz is significantly less than the BMW M4 Competition droptop ($97,175). In that respect, you won't find much better for the price.
