"This time suddenly the front grips up a lot, I almost spin.
His anger boiled over at one moment during FP2 when he was held up by a slow Hamilton.
Verstappen was seen making a furious gesture in his car in the direction of Hamilton, who appeared to accept responsibility by holding his hands up.
The incident came just a few minutes after Alonso accused Hamilton of not being fully aware of his surroundings.
The Spaniard was on a flying lap and cutting through the first sector when he made his way through to Turn 7, where he met a slowing Hamilton.
The Mercedes driver was on an outlap and failed to move out the way of Alonso, who was forced to abort his hot lap.
He complained: "Hamilton thinks that he is alone on the track.
"It's the second lap he does it. Turn 12 and now Turn Seven."
While it was an off day for Red Bull in both practice sessions, Ferrari enjoyed a strong start to their weekend following their big upgrade.
