Max Verstappen Hilariously Warns Ferrari About His Aggressive Actions on Future Pit Stops
Max Verstappen Hilariously Warns Ferrari About His Aggressive Actions on Future Pit Stops originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Max Verstappen's list of on-track rivals might include Ferrari drivers, but it has expanded to a far less likely culprit: a cone. Advertisement The Red Bull driver was left fuming over a specific Ferrari-placed cone that he claims has been consistently interfering with him. After dealing with it for ' a couple of races,' Verstappen made his frustration clear. 'Ferrari always puts the cones quite far,' Verstappen said, recalling the moment he hit his limit. 'I said, 'If this happens one more time, I'm gonna ruin it completely.' I told it over the radio after the last race because it's been a couple of races [of it occurring].' His solution? A tactical strike. 'I thought, 'If it's there again , I'm running it over completely.' If it's there again later, I'll do it again.' Max Verstappen talks to the media after 2025 Miami GP Sprint Casey-Imagn Images The bizarre feud brought a comedic break to the tension of the championship fight. But for Verstappen, the cone's placement affects more than just pride. Cones mark out the edge of the pit box and misplacement can disrupt a driver's rhythm. Advertisement F1 fans online were quick to pounce on the moment, turning the Red Bull driver's beef into meme gold. Some joked, 'Cones and Bollards…Max Verstappen's biggest enemies' while other said, 'I think this is my favorite rivalry ever.' Whether Ferrari adjusts the cone placement or Vertsappen follows through on his demolition threat, one thing is clear: no one, not even a cone, gets in Max's way without consequences. The Red Bull-Ferrari rivalry is hilariously low to the ground, this time around.

Hamilton had been given a three-grid place penalty for impeding Max Verstappen after he was told the wrong information by Adami in qualifying. The British driver was informed that Verstappen was on a slow lap, so did not get out of the way when he was actually on a flying lap. It comes after the ex-Mercedes star sarcastically told his new team to have a 'tea break' in the Miami GP, where they rowed over swapping places with Charles Leclerc.
