While Verstappen was replying, “I think that could’ve been done with a virtual safety car. A safety car works but..” He got interrupted by Alonso, and continued “we’ll talk about why I think it left a lot of drivers confused why we needed a red flag.” 

After getting interrupted again, by Hamilton this time, Verstappen sportingly said, “Okay, we’ll talk in Baku”. The Red Bull man hilariously then began replying to follow-up questions in one word.
