Max Verstappen has told his critics to "get used to" his on-track style.
The 18-year-old was the hot topic of conversation in the Monza paddock, a week after riling Kimi Raikkonen and many of his rivals at Spa.
F1 legend Niki Lauda even urged the Dutchman to go to a "psychiatrist" to temper his aggression.
"If I go, then we might as well go together," Verstappen laughed, as he appeared on the Dutch broadcaster Ziggo Sport Totaal.
As for Finn Raikkonen's criticism, however, Max added: "If I was Kimi, I would have said the same thing on the radio."
But Verstappen said the criticism "doesn't change much for me -- on the track, I do my own thing. Some actions may be viewed critically, but then they just have to get used to it, I guess."

This ahole needs to smacked hard and it looks like someone might just punch his face pretty soon. Talking shaite only gets them so far before someone decides to put the manners on the trash talker.

This is so taken out of context! It made me a bit angry when I read the headline. Then I looked up the original bit on youtube. Turns out that was he really said was completely different.
