Max Verstappen has confirmed his decision to 'like' a social media post that criticised Red Bull's decision to swap Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda was "not a mistake".

Verstappen's official Instagram account 'liked' a post from former Dutch F1 driver Giedo van der Garde just hours after Red Bull confirmed Lawson would return to Racing Bulls and Tsunoda was promoted to the main team from this weekend's Japanese Grand Prix.

Lawson spent just two races at Red Bull and told Sky Sports F1 he was "shocked" by the decision.
