No longer so dominant
“Bullshit!” Verstappen counters Mercedes claim
Counterattack from Max Verstappen! After Mercedes technical director James Allison said that the upgrade from Red Bull was more of a "downgrade", the world championship leader now shoots back.
"That's bullshit, of course," Verstappen is quoted as saying by motorsport-total.com. Red Bull is no longer as dominant as it was in previous years. But the upgrade has certainly improved the car, according to the Dutchman: "But everyone around us is simply making slightly bigger steps than we are."
Red Bull still owns the sporting present, but McLaren in particular is a major concern for Verstappen and Co. Lando Norris took pole for the Spanish Grand Prix on Saturday. "They're just good everywhere now. On every type of track, in the long runs and they are also coping well with the tires," said Verstappen.
Verstappen sounds the alarm
The Dutchman sounds the alarm. "It looks like everyone around us is bringing more updates than we are. Of course, we have to work on finding more performance for our own car." Verstappen leads the championship standings after six wins in the first new races. He has 56 points more than second-placed Charles Leclerc in the Ferrari.
