Of course, of course Jos Verstappen was disappointed by missing out on your victory in the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Bahrain. Max Verstappen had to settle for second place behind Lewis Hamilton: “That is bales, of course bales”, Vertappen sr. Ziggo Sport.
“We’ve all been able to see that Red Bull has the car to win, but Mercedes just figured out a really good strategy. We all assumed they would do a three-stop. He was on the right track with his early pit stops. But then he drove thirty laps on hard tires. “
Verstappen knows, however, that Mercedes was in the luxury position to try it: “If it doesn’t work, they’ll be second anyway. Because Valtteri Bottas couldn’t keep up and Sergio Perez wasn’t there either.”
And the latter, the absence of Perez, has damaged Verstappen’s chances: “He should have been behind Hamilton, so we could bring him in earlier and then we knew at least which game we were going to play. But Perez was not there. “
However, after one race nothing has been lost for Max Verstappen, because, as his father remarks: “The good thing about this year is that we just know ‘next race we will compete again for the victory.” years actually.
When Rob Kamphues suggests that Mercedes should not ‘just come up with something new’ in the next three weeks, Jos Verstappen’s confidence in Red Bull appears: “We are not sleeping either. We are also awake. We know what is coming and we are ready. It’s going to be a hugely exciting year, I’m sure. “
