Who would have thought. At home red bull everything foreshadowed a serene end to the season, after winning the Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championship, and the sigh of relief at having avoided far more serious consequences for the salary cap case. On the other hand, in the Brazilian GP the case of Breakup between Max Verstappen and Sergio Perezwhich now runs the risk of having very serious consequences.
What happened? Max refused to return the position to his teammate, peremptorily violating the team’s orders. 🇧🇷Guys don’t ask me anymore, ok? Are we clear about this? I gave my reasons and I support them. I don’t give the position to those who didn’t give me the wake“It is useless to underline how the matter caused a stir, also because Checo was in seventh place and therefore failed to earn important points to remain in second place alone in the drivers’ standings, receiving the capture of Charles Leclerc, who finished fourth.
The Mexican said he was surprised, not least because he said that the two consecutive titles are also thanks to him. What is certain is that especially last season Perez was very useful for the cause and for the duel between Verstappen and Hamilton: he overtook the Briton in Monaco in 6th place, kept him behind for most of the race in Baku, putting him in difficulty also in France, he then snatched the fastest lap from the Mercedes driver at Silverstone and Brazil, fending off his attacks in Turkey to leave him fifth and then putting a wrench in the works also in Austin and Abu Dhabi. .
Why then did Max Verstappen become the protagonist of this scar? Behind him is apparently revenge for a foul committed by partner throughout the season. In fact, Perez, according to former driver Tom Coronel’s record, would have voluntarily ended up against the barriers in Monaco, complicating the Dutchman’s plans, all at the height of an already ruined relationship and with several skirmishes.
And now it won’t be easy to heal the fracture, with Red Bull having to try to find the right feel inside the garage as well because it might be the team that pays the duty. This is also the thought of a well-known face of Formula 1, namely the Spaniard Pedro da Rosa, former pilot. Speaking at DAZN Spain, former Arrows, Jaguar, McLaren, Sauber and HRT said: “I think it’s the team’s job to make him understand why he’s wrong, and he has to understand why it’s very important if he wants to have a faithful squire like the one he had in Czech.”🇧🇷 What is right in your opinion will be difficult in the future for anyone working alongside the Dutch champion who is at risk of boycott and isolation: “No one will want to work with Max Verstappen if they know they are going to pay with that currency.”
