Max Verstappen responds to George Russell: "Maybe I should take him to the sauna!"

Formula 1 driver Max Verstappen has responded to rival George Russell regarding the debate over cooling vests, jokingly stating, "Maybe I should take him to the sauna!" The remarks were made during an F1 weekend in Malaysia, where discussions surrounding driver temperature regulation resurfaced.

The exchange follows prior behind-the-scenes discussions from two years ago, during which the FIA considered making cooling vests mandatory. However, that initiative was ultimately abandoned following strong opposition from several drivers.
