Verstappen 'steals' Albon's phone and pranks him: '911, can I report a theft?

Max Verstappen put on his prankster hat in Saudi Arabia, leaving Alexander Albon to face the press conference on his behalf. However, the Thai-British driver had forgotten just one small thing.

Albon's phone 'stolen' by Max Verstappen

Albon thought he could just leave his phone behind at the press conference. Verstappen proved him wrong. The Dutchman took pictures with the drivers he was sharing the press conference with. On X, Albon shared pictures of Verstappen with Fernando Alonso and Isack Hadjar, captioning the post: “911, I'd like to report a robbery.”

The rest of the day revolved around Verstappen being mostly asked about his future with Red Bull Racing. While everyone else seems preoccupied with the possibility of the Dutchman's departure, Verstappen himself is not. Currently, he is mainly focusing on improving the car.

There was also a question about the feud that was seen between Helmut Marko and Verstappen's manager, Raymond Vermeulen, with the Dutchman keeping his cards close to his chest in regards to talking about the issues that took place after the Bahrain Grand Prix.
