Here is a rough translation of Lauda's comments re Verstappen on German TV:
Lauda: "To be honest, he belongs into a psychiatric ward."
Host: "Now you're exaggerating. I think that's too harsh."
Lauda: "I have to say it like that. Now he says it's Kimi's fault and he's innocent..."
Host: "Well, he means at the start..."
Lauda: "Again... race drivers are professionals that don't endanger themselves unnecessarily. And he doesn't even realize that he might have done something wrong. I will tell Jos to talk to the fellow because he oversteps the limits and it's just unnecessary. He should foster his talent further and win races. With these mistakes he doesn't win races. It's too aggressive towards the other drivers and it's pointless towards himself because he can't get to the front."

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. - Winston Churchill
