Red Bull is getting angry. He is getting angry, and a lot, with mercedes. After having them stiff with Aston Martin At the beginning of the World Cup, Max Verstappen’s victory in Australia has raised blisters. First, in George Russell; thenor, on the whole team of energy drinks for the English pilot’s words about his performance.
Because Russell, after the Albert Park test, described as “shameful” what Red Bull is doing to avoid putting all the meat on the spit.
“The faster they are more will try to keep all that under control. Yes, they are holding back. Verstappen and Red Bull have no reason to push,” Russell said.
“They say they could have won, but…”
The funny thing is that Mercedes, or rather its boss, said that if it hadn’t been for the red flag, its driver could have won the test. Without the red flag and without, of course, engine problem that put him out of the race.
That has made Christian Horner explode. The head of Red Bull, faced with such mismatch between one thing and another, he has said that in Mercedes they lie.
“They say they could have won… but then they say we lied. Of course, it’s fine”, he recounts in words that reflect on ‘Motorsport.com’.
Alonso and Mercedes’ pace control
The truth is that, after seeing a Verstappen who went from 15th to second in Saudi Arabia without any problem, in Australia only Max was able to get on the podium against the Sergio Perez problems to gain positions.
Horner also pointed out what he already said in his day Fernando Alonso on Mercedes and its slowdown: “Your team knows such things well…”
For now, Red Bull has shown practically unstoppable at the beginning of the World Cup, although the problems of Verstappen and Pérez in Saudi Arabia and Australia put some spice on Sunday.
Alonso, Hamilton… and Red Bull
Only Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton have been able to follow, by far, the rhythm of the Austrians, adding three podiums for the Asturian and one the English of Mercedes.
