Max Verstappen is very comfortable driving without any opposition within Red Bull Racing and only focusing on the challenge coming from outside. An insider says this could be the reason why the Mexican, who has been performing dramatically poorly, has not yet been sent away…
It is unpleasant for many - not only in the field, but also outside it - that while a driver of Carlos Sainz's level is moving to one of the weakest teams in the field, the team that produced the individual world champion has a driver in another car who often does not even reach the F2 level. Most recently, Eddie Jordan snapped that he does not understand what is happening here. In other words, quite the opposite: He really understands!
"When it comes to Sergio Perez, I always feel very uncomfortable because I really like the guy. He's a nice guy, he's a nice guy, but the way he struggles and fights to keep his place is just not worthy... And he should be a professional underdog, at least based on his performance. But then there's Max Verstappen and Christian Horner, I think it's their fault. The latter serves the former because Max puts pressure on him and he doesn't want an opponent within the team. That's why Carlos Sainz couldn't join Red Bull.
"That's not a good sportsmanship, and it's something they should think about..." Jordan said. It would be hard to argue with the old man.
