A Mercedes obviously he has made great strides in recent races, especially in straight lines, can achieve outstanding speeds.
The German barn Lewis Hamilton gained a confident victory at the Brazilian Grand Prix starting from 10th place, Mercedes said at the time that their lavish top speed was due to the new engine.
At Red Bull, however, it is suspected Mercedes tricks with the flexibility of the rear wing, Jos Verstappen and for sure, Mercedes is hiding something.
“I’ve never seen such a speed difference from one race to another in my entire life. Obviously, it’s possible to fine-tune a new powerplant a bit, but does a new Mercedes engine really degrade after two or three races, as they say? I can not imagine.” Verstappen Sr. told De Telegraaf.
The former F1 driver also talked about the video that was released after the Brazilian Grand Prix, which shows Hamilton pulling the government back a minimum before the 1st turn of the Interlagos track. The defending champion later explained that there was some backlash from the government, but then the problem was resolved. Verstappen, on the other hand, drew attention to another scene.
“A government is about to turn left or right, why would it move back and forth? Looks like there’s something… After the race in Brazil, we also saw Hamilton get something from his trainer and put it back in the cockpit. I am very curious as to why this is. ”
“If we put it all together, it’s just weird that there’s suddenly such a difference at this stage of the tournament. I have a very strong suspicion that they are doing something that is not allowed. I don’t want to lose, but there has to be a fair fight. ”
Verstappen revealed that his previous good relationship with Toto Wolff has completely deteriorated after his son collided with Hamilton in Silverstone.
“We haven’t even talked since,” the Dutchman said, then betrayed he was angry that Mercedes had selflessly celebrated its victory in Silverstone while his son was in the hospital. “He showed tooth protein this year. We no longer have any connection with each other. ”
