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 weaknesses of the previously-unbeaten RB19.
There were suggestions that Red Bull’s mysterious p🍬erformance drop off might be related to two new technical directives 🧜introduced in Singapore to clampdown on flexi-floors and flexi-wings.
But after turning in a stunning performance to put Red Buꦬll back on top in qualifying at the Japanese Grand Prix, Verstappen hit out at Red Bull’ꦜs critics.
“We had a bad weekend and then people start talking about ‘yeah, it’s al📖l because of the technical directives’. I think they can go suck on an egg,” Verstappen said.&nbไsp;
“From my side, I was just ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚvery fired up to have a good weekend here and make sure that we were stron🦹g.”
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 h🔯e claimed his ninth pole position of 2023.
"Incredible weekend so far,” Verstap👍pen said. “Especially in qualifying when you push it to the limit, it felt really really nice.
"We had a bad weekend in Singapore but I already felt 𝓡from the preparation we ha🐓d that this would be a good track.
"You never really know how good it would be but from Lap 1 it has been really nic𝐆🐭e.
"You try to find little improvements here and there and to be on pole heꦗre is fantastic."
