Max Verstappen jokingly told after the Italian Grand Prix that the Red Bull of 2019 is not such a bad car. The Dutchman was referring to the AlphaTauri van Pierre Gasly, with which the Frenchman managed to win the race. Rob Kamphues suspects that this statement can sometimes cause trouble.
It is an open secret that AlphaTauri’s sister team Red Bull Racing is. The Austrian superpower regularly puts its young talents at the racing stable of Franz Tost and has, for example, joined forces with motorcycle supplier Honda after the Japanese power sources were first placed in the back of the AlphaTauris for a year. However, it was not a Red Bull, but an AlphaTauri that crossed the line first in Italy last Sunday. Pierre Gasly claimed his first victory in the premier class after a chaotic race. Max Verstappen then told opposite afterwards Ziggo Sport with a wink that the Red Bull of 2019 is not such a wrong car.

Rob Kamphues suspects that this statement could cause some trouble: “He actually says that this year’s AlphaTauri is last year’s Red Bull,” it sounds in the Ziggo-program Crashing in the kitchen. “In other words, they have a”Racing Pointyou ‘done. He actually says that, he gets into trouble with that. First they pissed that Racing Point’s Mercedes from last year, now he says AlphaTauri has done that with a Red Bull. ”
Robert Doornbos interprets Verstappen’s statement differently and disagrees with his colleague: “He says in a very subtle, political way: ‘Guys, we screwed up with the 2020 car.’ From the ground up, mistakes have been made in that car that you won’t be fixing this year. I think he just wanted to kick Red Bull and Honda, “said the former Formula 1 driver.
