Martin Brundle has warned Max Verstappen against “dirty driving” tarnishing his legacy with the Dutchman’s questionable defending against Mick Schumacher at the British GP.

After last year’s tension-fraught battle for the World title, this season Verstappen’s fight against Charles Leclerc is a lot more respectful.

Racing wheel-to-wheel on more than one occasions, three times in fact at the Austrian Grand Prix alone, the two have been hard but fair in their tussles.

But while Verstappen has kept it clean with Leclerc, doing so again at the Red Bull Ring where he lost out to the Ferrari driver, there were questions about his defending against Schumacher at Silverstone.
