Reigning champion Max Verstappen has had much to say about the British press and what he’s felt is an ample amount of bias against him. Now, father Jos Verstappen has weighed in, positing that his son’s dominant Brazilian Grand Prix win should be more than enough to silence the critics.

The reigning Formula One world champion was in unfamiliar territory: Starting seventeenth on the grid, with only two cars behind him (and one in the pit lane), and his title rival, Lando Norris, way, way ahead of him on pole position.

SAO PAULO — Red Bull driver Max Verstappen took a major step toward securing his fourth straight Formula 1 title by winning the Sao Paulo Grand Prix on Sunday despite starting 17th, with the victory increasing his lead over McLaren's Lando Norris with three GP races remaining on the 2024 schedule for the international open-wheel circuit.
