F1 drivers are often questioned by multiple reporters just before the beginning of the race. Journalists get onto the grid to question the drivers about their feelings before a race start. Hence, during the Emilia Romagna GP, one such reporter was spotted walking alongside Max Verstappen. However, when the reporter almost reached the grid, he was dragged outside the grid for some reason.
Max Verstappen who has been struggling around the Emilia Romagna GP was questioned regarding his ideas for the race. The Dutchman had previously ranted about the grip and balance issues in his chassis during practice sessions. Regardless, the 26-year-old scored a pole position and matched Ayrton Senna’s record for most consecutive pole positions.
The Dutchman was being questioned by a Viaplay reporter as usual before the beginning of the race. However, the reporter reportedly did not have a grid sticker on which allowed him to be on track. Hence, this was the reason that he was forcefully dragged off the track by an employee. The reporter even joked to the Dutchman that he had to ‘go’ and said bye to Verstappen.
