The Dutchman had already secured the world championship title earlier this year, leaving Perez with more to fight for in his battle for second. Verstappen, however, refused to give his teammate his position, leaving fans, as well as the team, confused and rather displeased. Race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase asked Verstappen to let Perez by on the final lap of the race. He said: "Max, let Checo through please." When the Red Bull driver failed to give his team-mate his position and was asked why he did so, Verstappen replied: "I told you already last summer, guys, don't ask that again to me. Okay? Are we clear about that? I gave my reasons, and I stand by it." Later on, Red Bull team boss Christian Horner apologized to Sergio Perez but the Mexican was evidently furious. Speaking on team radio, Perez said: "Thank you for that guys, thank you. This shows who [Verstappen] really is." Speaking to Sky F1 in a media interaction post the race, Perez added: "I mean I was told to let him by but I was going to get back to position. I don't know what was the communication with him on his side? nothing to say really. I mean, after all, I've done for him, it's a bit disappointing. Today, I have no idea, I'm really surprised."

Red Bull team boss Christian Horner praised the Dutchman for his near-flawless year, praising his consistency and pace. Speaking to Motorsport, Horner implied that has done everything right this season. He said: “There’s been years of domination with Mercedes, but I think as an individual driver, probably yes.

On top of that, he’s won two sprint races, and he’s not won all of them from pole position.” Horner continued: “He’s had to fight and race for a lot of those victories. I think when we look back at the end of the year, it is an absolutely outstanding year that Max has driven. He hasn’t put a wheel wrong. He’s been perfect throughout the season. It’s incredible the level of consistency that he’s been able to achieve.” Max Verstappen also broke the record for most F1 wins in a given season last weekend at the Mexican GP.
