max verstappen He is stalking his third consecutive Formula 1 World Cup. He was the fastest in Canada again. And neither his teammate, Checo Perezhas been able to ‘cough’ him despite having the same car: six victories for the Dutchman and two for the Mexican driver (Red Bull has taken all the wins).
in Montreal Fernando Alonso He was second and was closer than ever. The Aston Martin upgrades work. from behind peeked lewis hamilton with a Mercedes that has also taken an important leap forward.
and the expilot Martin Brundle he believes that only the two of them could compete with Verstappen. He has said so in ‘Sports F1’: “I suspect that only Alonso and Hamilton they would have the head to face Verstappen at the moment”.
“The perfect scenario for the team would be for Sergio to finish very close to Max in every race and win when Max can’t. The problem is, as Pierre Gasly and Alex Albon found out, good drivers get ‘buried’ by the speed of the Dutchman. Brundle said.
Also, give a stick to Checo Perez, that he was left out of the drawer again: “Red Bull cannot have Pérez out of shape when Mercedes, Ferrari and Aston Martin are closing in on them. That is why they will support him all this way.”
“Perez impressively won two of the first four races of the season, but everything fell apart since Max rallied from ninth in Miami to comfortably beat Sergio, who started from pole position. He will need all his maturity and experience, in addition to the support of the team and the family, to change the head and begin to show your speed and potential“, he has sentenced.
Going for the third World Cup in a row?
Verstappen has 195 points. The other two names Martin mentions are far off: Alonso has 117 and Hamilton, 102.
Of course, the improvements of Aston Martin could worry those of the energy drinks that work. in canada they were faster than in past racesand only the fuel problem prevented Alonso from reducing those nine seconds of difference with which they crossed the finish line.
