The tranquility of the lead in the standings, on the one hand. The unknown of the future, on the other. How many guarantees can give 12 points of advantage? And above all, how many more could they have given if only a few races had gone differently? These are question marks that come to life at Red Bull, also because Max Verstappen can complain about several episodes of the World Cup. Three above all: Baku, Silverstone, Hungaroring. Three very different episodes, with a minimum common denominator: Super Max that comes out with the pive in the bag.
Red Bull councilor Helmut Marko he wonders where Verstappen might be if he hadn’t stumbled across a few zeroes too many this year: “Before the last three races, we actually feared that we would be far behind Mercedes. But in the end we got more points than Hamilton, mainly due to his fifth place in Turkey, while Verstappen finished second in Sochi. Certainly also luckily, due to the rain“Marko said to Autosport. “What’s even more remarkable is that Max lost points through no fault of their own in Baku, Silverstone and Hungaroring. If we do a quick count, it’s definitely more than 50 points lost“. And the accounts actually add up, because in Azerbaijan the # 33 was on its way to a comfortable victory before the knockout at the left rear tire, while in Great Britain and Hungary they could get at least two second places, and instead Super Max has scrapped up the misery of two points.
