Remember when Red Bull had to give Verstappen an ultimatum for his crazy and irresponsible driving? When did a lack of experience, a desire to win and overconfidence keep you off the track more than on it? Well, this Sunday, at Red Bull’s home ground, We have seen again that pilot who many believed would amount to nothing due to his characterThey were wrong, but that kid, who seemed incorrigible, has returned and has spoken out at a very specific moment, which could be the start of a crisis at Red Bull.
It is true that although Verstappen has not won, he has crossed the finish line fifth, his points difference in the general classification is so large compared to the second classified, Lando Norris, that it should not worry the Dutchman. That’s why cIt is difficult to understand the fierce defense of the first position that he has made against Norris, failing to complyin my opinion, the rules on several occasionsor not leaving enough space, or changing direction or not returning the position when by leaving he gained an advantage over the British.
An exit from the track and a flat on Verstappen’s tire After the last stop we were able to see a close combat in which Lando also failed, because if the Briton had been more determined in the overtaking, what seemed inevitable would not have happened: a collision that left Lando out of the race and Verstappen off the podium.
An incident that has allowed Mercedes to win a race again, with George Russel, a quand Piastry has remained in second place and that Ferrari, with Carlos Sainz, has saved the furniture somewhattaking the podium, after a weekend with many shadows and few lights.
A great prize that started with Verstappen’s absolute dominance who had just won the sprint on Saturday and taken a comfortable and authoritative pole position. In any case, be careful because Red Bull is not as good as it seems, and if not, just ask Checo Pérez who could only finish seventh. Red Bull has problems, and hence the doubts and fears.
Problems with the enginesthey do not believe that they can cover the season only with the four power units that the norm sets, the car is not as noble as last year, Adrian Newey goes and Verstappen, who seems to be unhappy with the management, has not yet decided on his future, and has not yet given a resounding no to Mercedes, which continues to court the reigning champion.
The narrative gets interesting, more than the numbers that are stubborn and too bulky to think that Verstappen can lose this World Cup. McLaren, despite having brilliant drivers, is a little short on maturity, Mercedes is far away and Ferrari is Ferrari, that is, when they seem like they can get there they deflate without knowing why. Neither anymore nobody counts on Aston Martin that have opened a dangerous gap between its wind tunnel and the track and that, like last year, has them lost and sunk in the standings.
