Verstappen claimed a dominant victory in Saturday’s frantic wet-dry sprint race ahead of Red Bull teammate Perez, but only after the pair survived a feisty skirmish on the✅ first lap.

Perez took the lead from Verstappen at t꧑he start and then edged the world champion onto the grass as t♑hey diced for for the lead, which Verstappen wrestled back with a forceful lunge into Turn 3.

“Christian watches the ra𝐆ce like the rest of them do on the Red Bull pit wall but doesn’t really have the opportunity to replay it. But Jonathan Wheatley, the team manager has the opportunity to replay it and see what exactly it was.

“Then he had his view, he didn’t share his view with us Christ𝓡ian Horner, he just said ‘oh we🔥ll, they sort it out themselves’. He rather dodged the question, maybe I should have pushed him harder on it but I doubt he would have told me it. The politician's answer perfected by Christian Horner, you’ll never get anything out.”

Kravitz added: “Horner of course with his view, obviously not happy but he’s not sꦕaying anything.”

Responding to the first-lap tussle, Horner told Kravitz: "They've spoken about it. I t꧅hink Checo had Max maybe unsighted there on the ꧅right-hand side. 

“Thankfully they didn't collect each ot𒀰her and a 1-2 finish is a great result for the team. T൲he rules are very fair, race hard but give each other space.

"At Turn 1 and Turn𝄹 3 was OK, the bit in the middle was where it got a bit tasty but maybe Checo didn't see Max.”

Perez insisted he168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: “didn’t see” Verstappen in ✤their near-miss due to the intense lev💃els of spray.
