Red Bull's Max Verstappen has accused Valtteri Bottas of being a hesitant overtaker and said Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel would have got past him cleanly at the Italian Grand Prix.
Verstappen and Bottas banged wheels in the latter part of the Monza race while fighting for the final spot on the podium. Bottas had moved to the outside of Turn 1 and Verstappen appeared to drift across to defend the position, with the contact forcing the Mercedes driver into a run-off area.
The incident earned Verstappen a five-second penalty, which ultimately relegated him from third -- where he finished on the road -- to fifth.
