max verstappen leads the drivers’ championship with 170 points. second is Checo Perez with 117. Far after seven races, but it is a difference that can be saved. Nonetheless Alain Prost He does not believe that the Mexican driver will be in contention as the weekends progress.
Prost, in ‘L’Equipe’, has completely ruled it out: “The drivers’ game consists of tipping the balance in their favour. Either by setting up the car or by the contribution you give to the team and the sympathy that is generated…”.
“Perez has to make Max Verstappen start to doubt himself and that Red Bull change its mind about him. We all know that Pérez is carrying out a practically impossible mission. However, for him to be successful, he shouldn’t talk so much about his desire to beat Max in the first place.”
In addition, he believes that what is around him is not helping him: “His environment is not helping him. According to a report that I read a month ago, his father, in an interview with journalists, compared Sergio’s fight against Max with the battle that I I had with Ayrton…”.
A comparison that could not be believed: “I thought that those statements They were useless and counterproductive.”
F1 arrives this weekend at Canada, where Red Bull and Verstappen are again very favorites. That will be a key weekend because Aston Martin brings its package of major improvements here. If there are options for Fernando Alonso’s team, it will be possible to see from this Friday.
