Max Verstappen has spoken out against the abuse aimed at his teammate Chris Lulham after Saturday’s GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup finale at Portimão.
It resulted in a drive-through penalty, costing the #3 Team Verstappen Racing Mercedes-AMG a chance of victory, having worked its way from 14th on the grid.
Lulham’s mistake led to a flurry of online abuse, which led Verstappen to his Instagram account to condemn them.
“Amazing effort by Chris Lulham and Max Verstappen in every session and every stint, thanks for being awesome teammates!”
Lulham joined GT racing through a sim racing pathway, where Verstappen said that prior to the weekend, the pair had worked together for a long time.
