Max Verstappen He no longer has the dominant car he used in the last two seasons and even in the first races of this year. McLarenwith enormous improvement, has reached the height of red bull to fight for victories against energy drinks on all kinds of tracks. Ferrari It seems a step back, but it can fight for victory on favorable tracks, and Mercedes seems to have taken a step forward with its latest evolutions, waiting to introduce more pieces in Barcelona that prove what the means of Canada’s star joins the fight. .
In fact, in CanadaThe Mercedes and the McLaren They are cars that are faster than Verstappen’s Red Bull. But Max put in his hands what was lacking in the car and knew how to take advantage of the mistakes of his rivals to win like a champion, suffering but raising his hands to the top of the podium.
It seems clear that there is a battle, but be careful because things don’t end here. Everyone celebrates that there is finally equality in the fight for victories and leadership succession. But we have to see how the evolutionary battle of cars will develop. As teams continue to bring pieces to the track, the order of forces and their differences may change. And it also depends on the type of track. And in that sense, Max Verstappen He was in charge of sending a warning to his rivals in the press conference after the Canadian GP. He is confident Red Bull can overcome the problems that have slowed it down in recent races.
The car suffers more than its opponents on very bumpy circuits and, above all, on tracks where it is necessary to step on the curbs a lot. He suffered in Imola, in Monaco and in Canada. Max even said in the middle of the Canadian event that it felt like he was driving without suspension. But he considers that Barcelona, the next event, as expected, will be a track more favorable to his car.
“Will I get stronger in Barcelona? Hopefully, yes. I mean, yes, the last few races have been quite difficult, but not only difficult, we also had a lot of problems throughout the weekend. So we need to have a cleaner weekend. And yes, of course, even in the Canadian race. So definitely “We have an area where we can work and improve the car with a pretty big margin for improvement.”
IS IT A BIGGER CHALLENGE?
“Definitely more challenging. I think today’s race is very exciting overall. And it certainly keeps us on our toes. We can no longer make mistakes or small mistakes. So, yes, every little detail matters now.”
“I think we can solve it without influencing any other part of the car”, he said when asked if they could solve these problems without harming the overall performance of their car. “We know that driving on the curbs is a weak point and I also know that we are working hard to try to solve it, because I think it is a big performance limitation for us at the moment,” argued the three-time F1 champions.
“Of course, I’m also looking forward to some circuits where we don’t have to go through too many curves and without so many bumps. You can see it, every weekend so far, it’s been… Some teams are a bit stronger on some circuits, and I think in a way, of course, it makes it exciting too,” he argued under the wary gaze of Norris and Russell, who sat on either side of Max.
THE ‘CZECH’ IS SURE TO BE BACK WITH A BETTER CAR
In this sense, Max Verstappen believes that ‘Checo’ Pérez will overcome the drop in results he is going through, above all, because of the confidence he has in the team which makes his car easier to drive than it is now.
“The Constructors’ World Cup? As long as you keep winning, adding 25 points, even if the others finish second and third, you don’t lose too much. And then, you know, you can sometimes allow yourself these exceptions. But Of course, naturally, we always want both cars to be on top. I have no doubt that will change again soon. So, yes, we just need to fix our car, actually, to make it easier to drive as well, Perhaps, this allows you to feel a little more comfortable. And then I am sure that we will have the same cars, as at the beginning of the season,” he concluded.
