Fourth win of the season for Max Verstappenthe third consecutive for the Red Bull from the Monaco Grand Prix to today: the outcome of Canadian Grand Prix smiles once again at the reigning world champion, author of a race without imperfections also and above all during the last ten laps, with the constant pressure of Carlos Sainz in the exhausts that did not generate any kind of distraction to the Dutch in the moments conclusive of the race.
The result in Montreal satisfies not only the number 1, but also the team principal of the Anglo-Austrian team Christian Hornerover the moon for the success of Mad Max despite the retirement of Sergio Perez in the opening stages of the GP, betrayed by a technical problem: “The last ten laps were not comfortable at all after the return of the Safety Car – explained the British manager after the checkered flag – also because Max was unable to keep Sainz out of the DRS zone. Today Ferrari was very fast on the straight, could attack the curbs and stay close. All the credit goes to Carloswhich pushed Max to go very fast ”.
In a race conditioned by a double regime of Virtual Safety Car – one of which was decreed by Perez’s KO – and by the entry of a Safety CarHorner also admitted a certain difficulty in adopting the right strategy, with the choices then amply rewarded by Verstappen’s statement: “The strategy was not clear – he added – we opted for an early stop in the first VSC because it seemed like the best route. Then came the next VSC, and at that point Carlos also stopped. This obviously created a very good situation for the end of the race. We then saw that the championship has been very variable so far – He admitted – unfortunately Sergio has had the same amount of mechanical failures that Max has had: this is a factor that we must take into consideration ”.
With the Canadian GP filed, F1 will be back on track for British GP on the first weekend of July, in an event that has already brought Red Bull to attention since the return of Mercedes and Ferrari: “If you look at pure performance, it would seem that Silverstone should be a good track for Ferrarias was Barcelona – He admitted – Mercedes’ pace at the end of the race was also quite strong, and could be a key factor in the next race. On top of that, I’ve heard that some Ferrari updates are on the way for Silverstone as well, then it will be an interesting race“.
