Austin’s victory, centered by Max Verstappen ahead of Lewis Hamilton, and the double podiums in the races in Turkey and the United States, with Sergio Perez’s two third consecutive places, have given new impetus to Red Bull’s pursuit of the two world titles – drivers and constructors -. Verstappen extended his margin over Hamilton to +12 in the drivers’ championship and the team reduced Mercedes to 23 points in the team standings. Now the Milton Keynes team is preparing to face two favorable GPs on paper, in Mexico and Brazil. This year in particular, the race in the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez will have a particular flavor for the Austrian team, given the presence of local hero Sergio Perez.
Verstappen also joked about Checo’s entry into the team, presenting a race that he has already won twice in his career, in 2017 and 2018. “I have good memories of racing in Mexicoor – recognized the World Cup leader – because of my two victories. Can’t wait to run there again. All the more so since we have not been able to run here for a long time. I know we will have a lot more fans now with Checo on the team – the Dutch added – so I can’t wait to see them all on the track. Of course, we hope to have a competitive weekend “.
“The last few races had been quite difficult. We had had various penalties for the engine and some unfortunate moments, so it was definitely good to be up there again, with Checo next to me.”Verstappen emphasized again, in reference to success in the American GP. “It was a very satisfying victory. We showed good pace in the Austin race. Now the goal is to build from that result. Of course [quella gara] it was also very important to score points from a championship point of view”He concluded.
