F! world champion Max Verstappen told fans it was stupid to throw flares after one landed on the track at the Dutch Grand Prix on Saturday.
Spectators burn flares and cheer during the qualifying session ahead of the Dutch Formula One Grand Prix at the Zandvoort circuit on Sept. 3, 2022.“To hold flares, it’s nice but of course there’s a limit to how much. But to throw it on the track is just stupid,” Verstappen told reporters after taking pole position.
“Just don’t do that. It’s not good for anyone — you get thrown out, so you can’t see the race, and for us the session is stopped because it is dangerous, there’s stuff on the track, so you shouldn’t do it.”Article contentFerrari’s Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, second and third in qualifying, also spoke out.“I don’t know exactly when it was thrown, but if a car is passing at that time it can create unnecessary risk, so hopefully it won’t happen again.
Flares have also been let off at other races in recent seasons, notably in Austria — Red Bull’s home race where a lot of Verstappen fans are also in attendance — Belgium, Mexico and Italy.
