The second free practice for the Canadian Grand Prix is underway, but for Max Verstappen, it has not been ideal. The Dutchman complained about 'downshifts', which he says are a joke. With 90 minutes in the second free practice, Verstappen has plenty of time to work on that. You can follow FP2 in Canada with GPblog's liveblog.

Wow, that's a harsh criticism of his hardworking team in the paddock and the factory. If this were Lewis saying that, he would be lambasted as a petulant, unappreciative driver. But it's Max, and he can say what he wants. ?

Of course, especially if you are annoyed about it :-) then even more.

Yes, its a little harsh of Andrew Shovlin when he responds to Lewis's criticism of the team.

@Vegan Be honest pls, did you say the same thing about your idol Lewis, after last years Dutch GP, when he spoke to the whole team? ''I can’t believe you guys f***ed me.... I can’t tell you how p****d I am''
