JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Max Verstappen refused to discuss a time penalty which dropped him out of the lead of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, saying after Sunday's race that he fears being punished for any criticism.
Verstappen started on pole position and went off the track at the first corner under pressure from McLaren's Oscar Piastri.
