Max Verstappen was furious after a slow pitstop at the Italian Grand Prix last week.
Red Bull driver Max Verstappen is undergoing a rough spell in terms of his recent performances this season. Former German F1 driver Nico Rosberg has since shared his thoughts on Verstappen’s demeanor in light of these events.
Max Verstappen started the season on a convincing note, looking to replicate his success of the previous year. Until the first 10 races, the Dutchman performed well at par to his standard, amassing seven wins. But from that point on, he has failed to win in any of the last six races.
Nico Rosberg has thereafter claimed that Verstappen might be getting frustrated because of Red Bull’s recent struggles. Rosberg then stated that it was difficult for the three-time world champion to face the situation given his preference to being at the top.
The constructors’ championship now falls into the hands of McLaren, who currently trail the Milton-Keynes outfit by merely eight points. While Verstappen continues to lead the drivers’ championship, immediate efforts will now have to be made in order to cement the title going forward.
Max Verstappen calls for Red Bull to find solutions deeming RB20 as undrivable
The Italian Grand Prix ended in disappointment for Max Verstappen and Red Bull as they finished P6 and P8. Following the race, Verstappen deemed the RB20 undrivable and requested his team to make fresh changes to the car.
The Dutch driver has failed to pinpoint issues with the RB20 appearing clueless with its performance. He then said that a complete dissection of the components needed to be done in order to regain pace and balance on track.
The upcoming circuits of Baku and Marina Bay have been a bane to Red Bull in the past. They will now have to critically analyze and find fixes in a week’s time to get back to the top spots on the grid for the remainder of the season.
