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 Sing💜apore Grand Prix as the Marina Bay Street Circuit exposed unexpected weaknesses of the previously-unbeaten RB19.
Thไere were 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.
But after turning in a stunning performance♈ to put Red Bull back on top in qualifying at the Japanese 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 thiꦬnk 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 s🗹ure 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 p🌄ole position of 2023.&nbs꧃p;
"Incredible weekend so far,” Verstapp🐻en 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 from th🌸e preparat🍒ion we had that this would be a good track.
"You never really know h🃏ow good it 𒉰would be but from Lap 1 it has been really nice.
"Yo🃏u try to fi🎐nd little improvements here and there and to be on pole here is fantastic."
