Verstappen would kick psychologist out

Max Verstappen says he regrets nothing about showing Esteban Ocon after Sunday’s Brazilian Grand Prix and will do two days of FIA community service as a punishment for the altercation. "No. I'm just annoyed about not winning," the Red Bull driver said on the Peptalk programme on Ziggo Sport. Ocon’s reaction to the incident prompted his anger, insists Verstappen. "I wanted to know what was happening with him and he just did a big grin and said 'I was faster than you'. He didn't say he apologized and in fact reacted the opposite way," said the 21-year-old. "I wanted to be positive for my mechanics, but then you see someone like that who does not even say sorry for what happened. "You do not expect to be hit by a laggard. I'm glad my dad wasn't there," said Verstappen, whose father Jos is famous for his short temper. Verstappen says he does not see Ocon as a rival in Formula one: “He is not a competitor of mine in formula one. I focus on myself and the people I have to beat." The Dutchman insisted he does not need a psychologist. "If they come to me with a psychologist, I'll kick them out right away. You have to stand firm in your own shoes. I don't need anyone. My father is a bit like a psychologist anyway," he smiled.
