F1 Japanese GP: Max Verstappen tells Red Bull technical directive theorists to “go suck on an egg”
Red Bull’s race-winning streak came to an empathic end at last weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix as the Marina Bay Street Circuit exposed unexpected w🍒eaknesses of the previously-unbeaten RB19.
There wereℱ suggestions that Red Bull’s mysterious performance drop off might be related to two new technical directives introduced in Singapore to clampdown on flexi-floors and flexi-wings.&nb🤪sp;
But after turning in a stunning performance to put Red Bull back on top in qualifying at the Japane🧸se Grand Prix, Verstappen hit out at Red Bull’s critics.
“We had a bad weekend and then people start talkin🐠g about ‘yeah, it’s all because of the techni﷽cal directives’. I think they can go suck on an egg,” Verstappen said.
“From my side, I was just very fired up 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澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris - and over seven-tenths faster than Red Bull teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez as he claimed his ninth pole position of 2023.&n𒀰bsp;
"Incredible weekend so far,” Verstappen said. “Especially in qualifying whe💞n you push it to the limit, it felt really really nice.
"We had a bad weekend in ꦺSingapore but I already felt from the preparation we had that this would be a good trac💎k.
"You never really know howౠ good it would be but from Lap 1 i𝓰t has been really nice.
"You try to find little improvements here and t🌊here and to be 𝐆on pole here is fantastic."
