F1 LIVE: Max Verstappen could rebel as Mercedes take Lewis Hamilton risk

The heat has been turned up at Red Bull after Max Verstappen appeared to ignore team orders in Saudi Arabia.

The Dutchman was asked to keep to a certain lap time and urged not to challenge for the fastest time in the closing stages.

He said: “It was very clear that, given the slightest opportunity, Verstappen would have pushed Perez all the way to the finish.
