F1 Japanese GP: Max Verstappen tells Red Bull technical directive theorists to “go suck on an egg”
Red Bull’s rac𒐪e-winning streak came to an empathic end at last weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix as the Marina Bay Street Circuit exposed unexpected weaknesses𝐆 of the previously-unbeaten RB19.
There were suggestions th𝓀at Red Bull’s mysterious performance drop off might be related to two new technical directives introduced in Singapore to clampdown on flexi-flo🍬ors and flexi-wings.
But after turning in a stunning performance to put Red Bull b𒁃ack on top in qualifying at the Jꦯapanese Grand Prix, Verstappen hit out at Red Bull’s critics.
“We had a bad weekend and then people start talking about ‘yeah, it’s all because of the technical directives’. I think t🉐hey can go suck on an egg,” Verstappen said.
“From my side, I was just very fired up to have a go🤡od 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.&nb🍒sp;
"Incredible weekend so far,” Verstappen said. “Especially in qualifying when you push it to the limit, it felt really really nic𒊎e.
"We had a bad weekend in Singapore but I already felt fro♏m the preparation we had that this would be a good track.
"You never r🌞eally know how good it would be but from Lap 1 it has been real🐓ly nice.
"You try to find little improvements here and there and to be on pole here is fantast♒ic."
