Montemello, Spain – when he was younger, Max Versaben Bristel will mention his old title: Max Max. That old character raised her ugly head again at the end Spanish Grand Prix race Sunday.
Verstapen’s brilliance in the first part of the race outside Barcelona appears to be a moment of anger at the closing rolls, after he asked the Red Bull to return it to Mercedes. George Russell. When leaving the fourth round, the ruling world champion slowed, allowing Russellll from abroad, only to accelerate backup again and drive alongside his competitor’s car.
in Formula 1“
“Oh my God,” she shook third place Charles Licerrick It also reveals the clip of Versaben’s accident with Russell. Championship leader and winning race Oscar Pasri He simply said, “Yixes”. runner up Lando Norris He mocked that he had done so before, although “on Mario Cart”.
For many in the ring, it seemed intended, a moment when red fog descended on Verstapen and reached its climax in the absurd decision. When asked after the race by Rachel Brooks from Sky SPORTS F1, if this is already intended, VerstapPen gave technically and perhaps-looking at his position as a world champion four times-disappointing response: “Is this important?”
Many argue that he is doing. The man who took his hemorrhagic car was undoubtedly about the real Dutch intentions.
“I felt a severe process, to be honest,” Russell said on Sunday evening. “It is a bit shameful thing because Max is clearly one of the best drivers in the world, but the exercises like this are not completely necessary and tell him. It is a shameful thing that all young children look, and aspire to be drivers of Formula 1.”
It was one of the only people who reduced the job of what happened on Sunday night. Former world champion Niko Rosberg, who was talking about “Sky Sports F1”, was one of the most frank areas, saying that the Verstapen move should have been unlawful.
“It looked like a very intended revenge,” said the 2016 champion. “Wait for the opponent, and go to climb to him, just as I felt that the other man shocked you at the first turn. This is very unacceptable, and I think the rules will be a black flag, yes.
Instead, Verstapen got a 10 -second penalty kick, which saw that he fell to the tenth place at the end, and three penalty points on his super license. He is now Only one point away from the full race ban. This means that he must see the upcoming races in Canada and Austria clean before the number of points in the Rolling period of 12 months again.
Two former world champions were inherited through deliberate moves against other drivers. Erton Cena won the 1990 World Championship by Special Alain Prost Ferrari off the road in the Japanese Grand Prix, Michael Schumacher won a title in 1994 and lost another in 1997 in a collision with William Damon Hill and Jack Felinov, respectively.
At least, Cena and Shumacher can claim that their worst moments came when the title was at stake. Verstapen came in fourth place.
As was the case repeatedly and repeatedly in his career, the VertAPPEN race will be a major point of discussion in the accumulation of the Canadian Grand Prix. Responding to the Sky Sports and Quip question when I told him about Russell’s comments about his movement is a bad example for children who watch F1 – “I will bring some tissues next time” – gave an insightful look on how he dealt with this focus on the craft of race.
Most of those who have seen F1 recently were treated with many examples of excellence in the path. Its amazing victory in Brazil last year may be one of the best offers in the era of modern sport. The Pole Press in Suzuka this season has been praised as one of the best Formula 1 ever. His amazing statement on PiaSSTRI to lead the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix two weeks ago will decrease as one of the great passages ever. These are all fair parts of praise.
Criticism of the darker part of the craft of sweat is equally fair.
A lot of good work by Verstapen in recent seasons to enhance his legacy as one of the greatest sport talents has been distorted on Sunday in one moment of sticks. Among all people, Russell-an explicit critic of Ferstaben in the past-was summarized in the best frustration of watching the wonderful and defective world champion four times.
Mercedes driver said: “Max is an amazing driver and many people are looking for him.” He is just a shame like this still happens. ” “It is completely unnecessary and does not seem to benefit himself.”
Russell pointed to the Verstapen duplication with different examples: different flash points with Norris last year and its amazing movement on the PiaSSTRI to lead the race in IMola two weeks ago.
“You see in Austin last year some of the best moves ever, then go to Mexico and give himself a little bit. You go to Imola, you see one of the best moves that you will see for a long time, then this happens. This has cost him and his team a lot of points.”
boiling point
Verstapen’s frustration was quietly building for a while before his clash with Russell. The FIA report will not explain the penalty of 10 seconds of condolences.
Depending on the previous incidents this season, Red Ball believed that the referees would ask for Verstapen to hand over the place to Russell, so the team proactively asked for its main driver to do so. FIA’s statement indicated that the rulers have no intention to make such a ruling. Red Bull left at this confusion on Sunday evening, and there was frustration that Verstabne’s mugs’ dissatisfaction had been immersed in a fully avoided position.
This acceptance in FIA will rub the salt in the wounds for Red Bull, whose call for the Verstapen placed on the solid frame at the end, left it a duck sitting to the Lucklek and Arsal – who turned into a sofa – to attack it when restarting and put in the movement of the events that reached its peak at the expensive flash point. Versaben was sworn on the radio when he saw the tires that Red Paul put on his car at the final station; Because of the triple strategy that the team adhered to early in the race with the first car, all that he left was in its allocation.

Russell on VerstapPen Colison: “This is how Max go to the race”
George Russell and Max Versaben interacts with the Spanish Grand Prix after it collided late in the race.
Red Bull felt that it is difficult to have a better option than staying abroad, inheriting the lead and fighting shipping cars behind the tire defect. No option was not perfect in these circumstances, but in choosing between Verstapen defending the lead in a sofa a little older than defending new solid tires against competitors on a new sofa, Red Bull chose more difficult in the two – especially since there are only six rolls of the race after restart.
Christian Horner, director of the Red Ball team, insisted on Sunday, in reference to the possibility of staying abroad and defending the initiative: “McLeans had passed it,” indicating the possibility of staying abroad and defending the lead. It may be true, but of all drivers in Formula 1, Verstapen, famous for his attached approach in the wheel race, may be the person you will return to before all else to provide the initiative in this position. “You are facing a completely new set for a group of eight players that took some bombing. With 20-20 it’s too late, it is very easy to say, stay abroad.”
It is difficult to avoid feeling that the Verstapen controversy was completely chaos from the manufacture of Red Ball.
Even before the clash with Russell, there was evidence of Verstaben’s frustration. He never moved away from the shortcomings of this year’s Red Bull. During the Grand Prix in Monaco, he mocked the radio that he was holding him felt that he was from the 1972 edition of the race. When Versapet complained about a similar part of the car on Sunday in Barcelona, the Gianpiero Lambiase race indicated this comment again, only for Verstapen to indicate that he might have now felt at least he was from 1974. Yuki TsunodaThe Dutch media told that his Japanese colleague was not. “Pannenkoek((Dutch colloquial term for “Pancake”, and this means that the unjust or incompetent person) is suggested again that the frequent failure of talented drivers in getting the best in Red Bull suggested that the team design a completely unpleasant car for the race.
This is where the deepest Verstapen frustrations boil.
Although he has a contract until 2028, there are still those in the ring and who will tell you that they are convinced that he will leave the team before that. It is said that the owner of Aston Martin Lawrence Strol is very interested The world champion brought four times to his team. A lot of the amount reported in the Verstapen contract has been made It is allowed to leave Red Paul If it is less than the fourth in the drivers championship, the summer vacation will come in August. Given that he left Barcelona with one point, and with a one -race possible ban if he faced more trouble, this suddenly seems less than that than it was before the weekend.
Toto Wolf coach Mercedes was an interesting observer on Sunday evening. The two men participating in the controversial incident represent a conflicting set of ideas that should be bounced in Wolf for a period of time.
Despite his star shape this season, Russell did not sign a Mercedes contract after 2025 – there are conflicting reports and an understanding in the ring about how close the two sides approval of one. Whatever the truth, it is known that WOLFs may shelter the desire to bring the Versabpen to his team, and as long as Russssell has been uncompromising, the Dutch link option is related to it Lewis HamiltonThe old team is a reasonable one.
It is strange that Mail Wolf has taken a clear side of enthusiasm when a controversial accident involved one of his drivers, was on the fence, and perhaps unwilling to throw Verstapen under the bus.
“I mean, if the anger is on the road, which I cannot imagine, because it was very clear, then this is not good,” Wolf said on Sunday. “But the thing is that I do not know what was aimed at. Did he want to allow George the past, and immediately restore the car, the car’s car forward, then like the old doctor’s games, and left it in the past on the right path? [if it was intentional]. But again, I do not know exactly what the motives are, and I do not want to judge them and say that this anger is on the road. Let’s see what his arguments are. It was not nice. “
