"What's going on?" - Verstappen stunned by Raikkonen battle.
Red Bull driver Max Verstappen has revealed his shock at having to defend from Kimi Raikkonen during the opening laps of the Portuguese Grand Prix.
Verstappen, who had to repel the Finn's attack on lap two, explained his confusion at suddenly being involved in a tussle with the 2007 world champion.
"I tried to stay out of trouble a bit, tried to settle down,"
"Then I had Kimi behind me. I was shocked about that because I thought: “Am I really going to… like, what’s going on?” Kimi was flying, probably his rally driving helped him a bit in the first lap or something because that was pretty impressive."
Red Bull team-mate Alex Albon added to the conversation by stating that "Kimi was flying. He was on a different track to all of us."
