Boos for Max Verstappen after beating Sergio Perez to pole in F1 qualifying

The Telegraph  

The boos that rang out for Max Verstappen from the stands at Yas Marina following qualifying for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix were not overly shrill. Yet back here in Abu Dhabi, back at the ‘scene of the crime’, it is difficult to escape the impression that Red Bull just want this season to be over. Yet even with both world titles in their back pocket, even with their first front row lockout of the year secured, with Sergio Perez 0.228sec slower than his teammate, even with the prospect of the team’s first ever one-two in the drivers’ championship should Perez finish ahead of Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, it still feels as if they are limping towards the finish line. It has been a bruising month for Red Bull who have lurched from the budget cap row, to the Sky Sports F1 row, to last weekend’s team orders row in Brazil. Verstappen’s refusal to pull over for his teammate on the final lap at Interlagos sparked damaging stories in Holland that that refusal was “payback” for Perez’s crash in qualifying in Monaco in May, which Team Verstappen allegedly felt was done on purpose to secure the Mexican pole position.
