ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Formula One champion Max Verstappen says he has resolved a conflict involving teammate Sergio Perez and is prepared help him at the last race of the season in Abu Dhabi. Verstappen refused a team order to let Perez through for sixth place at the Brazilian Grand Prix last Sunday. He says his reasons will “stay between myself and the team.” Verstappen says the dispute related to something earlier in the season. Red Bull has defended Verstappen as a “fair team player.” Perez is hoping to clinch second in the championship ahead of Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc.
