F1 Japanese GP: Max Verstappen tells Red Bull technical directive theorists to “go suck on an egg”
Red Bull’s race-winning streak cameꦛ to an empathic end at last weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix as the Marina Bay Street Circuit exposed unexpected weaknesses of the previously-unbeaten RB19.
There were suggestions that Red Bull’s mystꦍerious performance drop off might be related to two new technical directives introduced in Singapore to clampdown on flexi-floors a🐻nd flexi-wings.
But after turning in a stunning performance to put Red Bull back on top in qualifying a꧅t the Japanese Grand Prix, Verstappen hit out at Red Bull’s critics.
“We had a bad weekend and then people s🗹tart talking about ‘yeah, it’s all because of the technical directives’. I 💦think they can go suck on an egg,” Verstappen said.
“From my side, I was just very fired uಞp to have a good weekend here and make sure that we were strong.”
The reigning world champion was a massive 0.581 seconds clear of the McLaren duo of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Oscar Piastri and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris - and over seven-tenths faster than Red Bull teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez as൩ he claimed his ninth pole position ✅of 2023.
