F1: Max Verstappen, Red Bull, Aston Martin and the novel that adds chapters

The lazy walk of RB21 could cause the Dutch to execute a clause to rescind his link at the end of the year. In the middle, we talk about a millionaire offering from the Lawrence Stroll team.

“Many people talk about my future except me,” said Max Verstappen during the press conference prior to the start of the Saudi Arabia GP, fifth formula date 1. The lazy news of the RB21, which was naked in Baréin, is the key that can unlock the anticipated output of the Red Bull team. The link is signed until the closing of 2028, but when you reach the boreal summer holidays of this season, it is not among the first three of the tournament for your machine’s shortcomings, you could execute the clause and put together the bag at the end of the year. The time border was confirmed by Helmut Marko, sports advisor and strong man in Milton Keynes.

The grip problems that the RB21 experienced were very noticeable in Sakhir, where Max was barely sixth, fighting with the Pierre Gasly Alpine. To this was added an inconvenience in the brakes, a combo that led to a post career of engineers with the Popes: Christian Horner and Marko. The Austrian Expilet was also seen in a heated talk with Raymond Vermeulen, the champion’s manager. “I am focused on my car, working with the whole team. It’s all that I am thinking at this time in F1. I am relaxed,” Max settled at the conference.

But one day at F1 is a world and Friday, before starting the activity on the track in Jeddah, a supposed millionaire offer of Aston Martin resurfaced to get the Vestappen services. In January the subject had already emerged: at that time 1,000 million euros for five seasons were pointed out. The new version was lowered a little: 300 for three years. “We are committed to our current alignment,” said a spokesman for the English team to the Planetf1 site. The other alternative points to Mercedes and

Horner, director of Red Bull, picked up the glove in Saudi Arabia and talked about the situation of the team’s star: “Noise is the perfect word to describe what is happening. There has been a lot of noise outside and inside the team … Max reaffirmed his commitment yesterday. We are focused on making the car faster, Max is part of this and is a committed member of the team. The rest are pure speculation and rumors. “

Horner also lowered the tone to the meeting in Baréin after the race. “It was not a crisis committee. If you sit with your engineers and talk about the race, I would not describe it as a crisis summit. We have many meetings. You feel and talk about these things with logic. There are always engineering solutions for engineering problems. We are not where we want. We have some problems with the car we are solving and the whole team is working hard. We know what the problems are; In the next races we will introduce a series of improvements to solve some of those deficiencies, ”the Pope closed. Until the next chapter.
