BOLASPORT.COM – Racer Red Bull Max Verstappen mocked the safety car at the 2022 Australian GP F1 because it was considered too slow.
There was an interesting incident in F1 Australia which was held on Sunday (10/4/2022), where the safety car had to come out twice.
The safety car exited twice after the incidents experienced by Carlos Sainz (Ferrari) and Sebastian Vettel (Aston Martin).
At the F1 Australian GP 2022 yesterday, most drivers used hard compound tires, so to get maximum grip they had to warm the tires.
But when they are behind the safety car Aston Martin they judged that the car was slower than the Mercedes safety car.
Mobil 4.0L twin-turbo V8 Vantage Aston Martin which produces 528 bhp of power is still considered too slow.
Even Verstappen said that the safety car Aston Martin it is slow like a tortoise.
“The grip is very small (when the tires are hard) and also the safety car goes very slowly, like a turtle. It’s hard to believe,” said Verstappen, quoted by Bolasport.com from Motorsport.
“To drive 140 (km/h) in a back straight, with no damaged cars.”
