Why Martin Brundle found Max Verstappen’s F1 Chinese GP “confusing”
Martin B♛rundle's view on Max Verstappen's "confusing" pace at the Chinese Grand Prix
F1 commentator Martin Brundle was perplexed by Max Vers🐲tappen’s impressive pace at the end of the Chinese Grand Prix, describing it as “a bit confusing”.
It was a lacklus♏tre weekend for Red ♉Bull at the Shanghai International Circuit.
While Verstappen was able to finish in the top three of the sprint race, he struggled with tyre wear and could not keep up with race winner 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton.
With that in mind, Verstappen drove conservatively in the♚ first stint of the race after dropping behind the two Ferraris on t🍬he opening lap.
Verstappen came alive when he switched to the hards for the second half of the grand prix.🌼
He ꦓreeled Hamilton in before the seve🍬n-time world champion made his second pit stop.
Verstappen then pulled off an impressive move on 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc for fourth.
, Brundle questioned Verstappen’s pace in Shanghai.“It was ab🐠out now that we remembered Verstappen was in the✅ race as he started to find some grip,” Brundle wrote.
“Somehow on lower fuel, or simply track conditions, and probably even the realisation that he didn🔥’t neeඣd to babysit the tyres so much, this allowed him to catch the Ferraris.
“In fact Max would🥀 deliver his fastest and front-running lap time on the final tour, which is a bit confusing.”
Red Bull set for “emergency meeting”
16🍒8澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Red Bull are set to hold an em🐬ergency meeting to discuss how they can improve their on-track perform♛ance following a di⛦sappointing start to the 2025 F1 season.
Verstappen finished a distant fourth in China, while the second Red Bull of168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Liam Lawson hasn’t finished in the top 10 all season.
The good news for Red Bull is that Verstappen is just eight points behind McLaren’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris.
However, the constructors’ champiജonship battle looks less promising for Red Bullꦕ,
🥀Red Bull trail McLaren by 42 points after just two races.
Lawson’s future with the ♑team will likely be a talking point in the meeting.
Reports have suggested that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda could replace Lawson for the Japanese Grand Prix.
