Tyson Fury has come to the defence of Max Verstappen and has urged for him to be 'given a break' ahead of his tumultuous F1 world title battle with Lewis Hamilton coming to an end this weekend.
The two drivers go into the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi on Sunday all square after an eventful Saudi Arabian Grand Prix which saw Hamilton win and Verstappen given two time penalties.
Dutchman Verstappen has since come in for plenty of criticism for the tactics he employed, including from Martin Brundle, who claims he could end up damaging his legacy and be labelled 'an unfair driver'.
