Max Verstappen and its anger in Saudi Arabia
The Dutch did not hide his annoyance due to the five -second sanction he received for the maneuver in the first curve and showed it on the podium.
Max Verstappen did not like the five -second sanction that applied after cutting the first curve in the fray with Oscar Pastri in the gp of the Saudi Arabia GP. The Dutch continued and commanded the squad until his stop in Boxes, at which time he purged with the sanction. Upon returning to track, he was behind the Australian. Already upon learning of the penalty received, he had his first demonstration in the radio talk with the team, with an insult included. We will have to see if the FIA also fine it for that.
After the race, it was time for the note with the official transmission made to the members of the podium. He barely said 46 wordsbefore leaving and it was only to thank fans who went to see the race and who wishes to get to Miami for the next appointment.
Already on the podium, he received the trophy, lifted it with reluctance and when the drink that somehow emulated the champagne (alcoholic beverage is prohibited for religious reasons), He took a sip and did not spread a drop, while Piastri and Charles Leclerc celebrated. He didn’t even want to participate in the classic photo that closes the ceremony.
In the press corralito, which he must necessarily attend, he chose to talk about the surprise that caused his Red Bull to have a good rhythm. “The positive thing is that the car was better than expected, especially with the middle tires. I was surprised how good it was and that is good for the future. The track has to do, in some we are very competitive and in others there is work to do,” he said. And then he mentioned when he passed from the sanction: “It had a good rhythm, it is difficult to say it later, but the sanction hurt our chances.”
The RB21 responded again on a low degradation track. That is where the benefits of a car appear that for now is far from the window that pretends the tetracampeon. After five races, he is third in the World Cup, 12 points from Piastri, the new leader. Follow in battle, and angry.
