Max explains why he sent that British journalist away during the presser
"I got that question quite often last year, and I think I answered it more than twenty times. So when someone asks that question during the press conference after the last race and also laughs in your face, to me that has to do with a complete lack of respect. If you don't give me respect, why would I give you respect?"
"You only see the camera pointed at me and not at that person, who just started laughing. And you could clearly see that there was malicious intent behind it at that moment. That is enough for me. I have been in Formula 1 long enough to know who has good intentions and who has bad intentions. If you go and laugh at me right there, you clearly don’t have good intentions."
