TO Ferrari he is still choking to be Formula 1 champion again. Since 2007 with Kimi raikkonen they do not reign Neither Fernando Alonso nor Sebastian Vettel not at the moment charles leclerc either Carlos Sainz they have made it. And in part it has been due to their own mistakes.
That has provoked the mockery of max verstappen, two-time champion of the competition in a row with Red Bull. In the documentary ‘Verstappen, Anatomy of a Champion’, there are some images, collected by ‘Motorsport’, in relation to the 2022 Belgian Grand Prix that say many things.
In those images, Max and a member of Red Bull talk about the strategy they will carry out at the weekend depending on the rain. “Isn’t the rain better for us?”they ask the Dutchman.
And that’s when he leaves this comment about Ferrari: “That way there is more chaos, yes. But if we have a dry climate, Ferrari is more likely to screw up their strategy…“. A complete mockery.
The Red Bull man had Leclerc as a rival until the middle of last season. The Ferrari couldn’t take it anymore. Too many strategy and reliability errors. After the summer break, Verstappen was already close to the championship without any rival that could complicate him.
In this beginning of 2023, more of the same. Ferrari is not a rival. In any case, if something can worry Red Bull it is the development of Aston Martin and the three consecutive podium finishes for Fernando Alonso.
From behind comes launched Mercedes (podium included from lewis hamilton in Australia) and then the Ferraris appear, who have not yet reached the podium in the first three tests of the season.
