The departure of life. Facilitated, of course, by a ‘tactical’ positioning error on the part of Valtteri Bottas, stigmatized by both Toto Wolff and Lewis Hamilton. The maneuver at the start of the GP of Mexico City, however, could have been the ‘aesthetic’ stamp on a first world title still to be conquered, but after this Sunday a little closer to Max Verstappen. The double overtaking by the Dutchman at the start decided the race. A bit like what happened in Imola, at the beginning of the season. Verstappen got it right by taking a risk and braking much further than the two rivals.
The area where he braked was clean, however, because he was in full swing. The # 33 had left nothing to chance and even before the start he knew exactly where to try to brake his car. It was he himself who revealed it to the microphones of Sky Sport F1, after the race. “Obviously when you go to the grid you try to figure out where to brake – explained the idol of the orange public, and from today also of the Mexican ‘torcida’ – I knew exactly where to brake in turn 1. Basically the race was decided there. Whoever braked later was right and that was us. In the race we were then able to control the pace“.
Verstappen then again stood out for wanting check all strategies of Red Bull. Not only those referring to his race, but also those concerning his teammate, Checo Perez. A trend that has already emerged in Austin and about which the Hassetl native also wanted to joke. “Calling the strategies? Yes, I had some time and we talked about several things “, said the leader of the World Cup.
