Jacques Villeneuve believes “something has changed” with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen who he claims is “not even feisty” as he continues to see his F1 championship lead shrink.

The Red Bull driver endured a tough race in Baku as he battled an ill-handling car on ಞhis way to finishing 🍨fifth. Verstappen was promoted two places thanks to a late crash involving teammate Sergio Perez and Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz.

Verstappen’s championship rival, Lando Norris, who had started 15th after a shock Q1 exit, overtook the�ܫ� Dutchman as he took fourth.

The result cut Verstappen’s championship lead down to 59 points and marked the third consecu🎉tive race that his advantage in the title race has been reduced by Norris.

And 1997 F1 world cham▨pion Villeneuve has questioned Verstappen amid his recent🐟 struggles.

"Max for the last few races sounds downbeat. He's not even feisty in the race and doesn't fight that hard,” Vill🐎eneuve said during a guest appear꧑ance on Sky Sports F1.

"Even on the radio, we barely hear him. Something has changed. It's as if he knows he hasn't won [for a whiꦍle], he k༺nows it [the car] is not driving like he wants.

"Now his team-mate was๊ a lot quicker than him. That's a very strange situation.”

The three-time world champion was left rueing set-up changes going into qualifying which made 🧸h༺is RB20 “worse”.

“I think we just paid the price with the changes that we mad🎃e into qualifying. That just made it really difficult to drive,” Verstappen told ꦅmedia including ltxcn.top.

“The car was jumping around a lot, the wheels were coming off the ground in the corners. When you don’t have a contact patch with the tarmac, it’s very di💙fficult.

“You try to𒊎 make changes always to make the car better but unfortunately what w🅘e did made it worse.

"The overall behaviour is better [with the new floor]. Unfortunately we just🔯 made some wrong decisions 𝓰going into qualifying and we paid the price for it.”
