Controversy and lack of team spirit has hit the Red Bull camp, after Max Verstappen deliberately refused to let his teammate Sergio Perez through.

Verstappen had already been declared this season's champion after attaining an unassailable lead at the Japanese Grand Prix in October.

In Brazil, Verstappen ignored a direct order from his team to allow Perez to pass to challenge Fernando Alonso and Leclerc.

Verstappen wouldn't let Checo through

Verstappen mentioned over the team radio that he had his reasons for not letting his teammate pass, adding that he had already communicated them prior to the race.

The decision saw Perez drop valuable points as he finished in 7th place, giving him 6 points. His competitor Leclerc finished just outside the podium places and got 12 points.

The two are now locked on 290 points, with only one race to go next week in Abu Dhabi.

Speaking after the race, Perez expressed his frustration with Verstappen, saying the Belgian-Dutch driver had 'shown who he really is.

"I have no idea what his reasons are. Maybe you should ask him about it. I've nothing to say, really. After all, I have done for him, it is a bit disappointing to be honest. I have no idea. I am really surprised," as quoted by Sky Sports.
