• Max Verstappen had a second DNF in Australia, the third race of the season. • Red Bull boss Christian Horner is furious at the growing gap led by Ferrari. • Horner says he'd rather fix a fast car than make a reliable one fast.
'Frustrating and unacceptable' race for Verstappen
Max Verstappen has ominously conceded that beating Charles Leclerc to the Formula One Drivers' World Championship could be too tough a task this season. The Red Bull star suffered a 'terrible' Australian Grand Prix performance and retired for the second time in 2022.
Max Verstappen has said it is not yet clear how Red Bull will solve their issues, be it their troublesome reliability or otherwise.
De buen humor, pero desmotivado, Max Verstappen habló con los medios en la zona mixta de Albert Park. El campeón del mundo y ganador en Arabia se ve fuera de la lucha por el título frente a Leclerc después de dos abandonos por culpa de la fiabilidad que apuntan al motor, aunque en esta segunda avería Helmut Marko se apresuró a desmentir que fuera culpa de Honda. Christian Horner, jefe de Red Bull, confirmó que sospechaban que «una fuga de combustible» obligó a retirarse a Verstappen. “Es una temporada larga y tenemos las bases de un coche rápido y competitivo, pero necesitamos resolver estos problemas rápido”. El neerlandés está a 46 puntos de Charles Leclerc en la clasificación, una desventaja enorme después de solo tres grandes premios.
The Mercedes team principal, Toto Wolff, has issued a scathing assessment of the former Formula One race director Michael Masi, whose actions were decisive in denying Lewis Hamilton a potential eighth championship last season. Wolff said Masi was a “liability” to the sport, who was disrespectful to drivers and has still failed to acknowledge his culpability despite being removed from his role by the FIA.
