Thinking that Verstappen could be excluded from Red Bull may cause a sensation, but that’s exactly the case. It’s hard to hide the disappointment.
In Formula 1 we are witnessing yet another season dominated by Red Bull, which will lead the team to win yet another world title, thanks to a supremacy that continues to be evident and the inability of its opponents to keep up with the team. Much of the credit certainly goes to the single-seater, capable of tackling all circuits in the best possible way, even those that may apparently seem less functional, as well as obviously to the person driving it, Max Verstappenwho became a star of the Circus’ first magnitude.
Having doubts about the Dutchman’s talent is now impossible, indeed for those who have it can only be natural to make a comparison between his performances and those of his teammate, Sergio Perez, who is not always at his level. Despite this, the team has made a decision that cannot help but cause discussion, as well as creating discontent: it is a truly unexpected exclusion, which may even give rise to some doubts about the consideration that the leaders have towards the person concerned.
Red Bull excludes Jos Verstappen: it’s controversy
To think that Red Bull might exclude Verstappen would be like believing that the team is shooting itself in the foot., given that it is thanks to him that she managed to undermine the leadership of Mercedes and Red Bull. Indeed, the distance from the opponents still appears so evident today that it is assumed that the leadership could last for a long time.
And that’s exactly what the Austrian team did, not towards Max, It is worth pointing out, but it is someone very close to him, who knows the dynamics of the Circus well. The reference is to his father Jos, who will not be among the participants in the Legends Paradea performance that entertains the public during the Austrian GP race weekend and has been going on since 2014. Initially, his name had actually been included, with the idea of having him drive the 2012 Red Bull, but this will not be the case, his withdrawal is now official.
According to Formula Passion, Christian Horner had a decisive influence on the choice. following a quarrel between the two at the start of the season. The former driver could instead count on the support of the upper echelons of Red Bull, which however was not enough to allow him to take to the track.
However, staying silent is not at all in the spirit of Verstappen sr., who did not hide his bitterness, as well as lashing out harshly at the team principal in such a way as to make him face his responsibilities: “ Christian Horner did everything he could to not let me rideI’ve heard it from several places in the last few days – the former pilot told ‘De Telegraaf:’ -. He made sure that no agreement was signed. At this point I can only ask myself: ‘Why didn’t he tell me this to my face?’. It was all really disappointing, it shouldn’t have happened like this.”
In short, the controversy is useful now that we are preparing to face yet another important race, the hope of the world champion’s fans is that these disagreements do not affect the relationship between him and the team.
