The Red Bull driver, who leads the championship by five points, but has a three-place grid penalty for this weekend’s Russian Grand Prix, added that he had put his Italian crash behind him and would continue to race as hard as ever.
“Yeah, I’m so nervous I can barely sleep,” said the Dutchman, with heavy sarcasm. “I mean, it’s so horrible to fight for a title. I really hate it! Those comments, it just shows you that he really doesn’t know me—which is fine. I also don’t need to know him, how he is. I’m very relaxed about all those things and I really can’t be bothered. I’m very chilled.”
