Johnny Herbert believes Max Verstappen was “unprofessional and disrespectful” on the Saudi Arabian GP podium after finishing second to Oscar Piastri on Sunday. Former F1 race winner Herbert added that Verstappen should have been given a 10-second penalty for the incident at turn one on lap one with Piastri, instead of a five-second penalty.

Max Verstappen opted to bite his lip rather than speak his mind following a controversial decision that cost him the win at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix on Sunday.

Oscar Piastri put in an impressive victory at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, securing his third win of the season to take the lead in the drivers’ championship. The McLaren driver managed the race perfectly, building and maintaining an advantage on title rival (and penalty-stricken) Max Verstappen.
