The author makes several statements in the article that do not contain any logical fallacies. However, there is one instance of inflammatory rhetoric used by Verstappen during his radio rant which can be considered a fallacy. The statement 'You can tell the FIA that’s how we’re going to race from now onwards! Just driving people off the road!' is an example of inflammatory rhetoric as it is an overexaggeration and a call to action that could potentially incite dangerous behavior on the racetrack. This fallacy lowers the score but does not significantly impact it.
