Sky Sports reporter, Ted Kravitz, upset Red Bull with his comments during his Ted Kravitz Notebook post-race show at the Austin Grand Prix.

While Verstappen has retained this championship win after a year of brilliant performance, some fans would argue that Kravitz was speaking the truth. In the final stages of the race, Hamilton was running in first behind a safety car on old tyres and Verstappen was P2 on new tyres. It’s just when everything is clear you have to release the track so I think that’s a fair point from the race direction. Because the guy that beat him after being robbed actually overtook him, because he's got a quicker car, because of engineering and Formula One and design, and pretty much because of [Adrian Newey, Red Bull's chief technical officer] over there." "Well, everything was clear so why would you then run another lap behind the safety car?
