Verstappen makes fun of Bottas: 'Takes out half the field'

Max Verstappen has made another joke online about Valtteri Bottas. The Dutchman was victim of a mistake by Bottas in the first lap of the Hungarian Grand Prix, and he hasn't forgotten about it.

Verstappen laughs at Bottas

During a game of Warzone, three players can be heard in the video that 'thef1guy22' uploaded on his TikTok account. ''Lights out and away we go'' and ''Josh Rogers jumps the start'' are already references to Formula 1, but still fairly innocent. Then Verstappen comes up with his quote: ''Valtteri Bottas takes out half the field ''. Verstappen himself has to laugh a lot at his joke.

The Red Bull Racing driver of course has a reason for such a joke. On the first lap of the Hungarian GP, Verstappen entered the bend in second place, but was hit out of nowhere by Lando Norris. Norrs himself was hit by Valtteri Bottas, who also knocked out Sergio Perez. So three drivers were eliminated at the start (Bottas, Perez, Norris), thanks to Bottas' error and Verstappen would finish no higher than 10th on the track (ninth in the results due to Vettel's disqualification).
