The four -time world champion experiences a fiasco on his favorite route in Austria. Guilt: A young talent-which reacts immediately after the accident.
Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen and Red Bull experienced an early debacle at the team’s home game in Austria. The Dutch was shot down in the Mercedes in the third curve shortly after the start of Kimi Antonelli.
Curve three on the route in Spielberg: Antonelli drives a little over -motivated from position nine far forward into the fray, bends far too optimistically into the curve – and simply ram away Verstappen. The world champion cannot do anything for it and is simply shot down.
Antonelli apologizes immediately that the Italian had previously slowed down. “I’m sorry, I have” blocked the rear tires “, the 18-year-old shows himself directly on the team radio. In contrast, Verstappen, which sparks in the box immediately after touching:” Damned idiot. I’m out, I was hit hard. “
After all, when both drivers got out of their cars, Verstappen seemed to be a bit of a little gone on the rookie. On TV images it could be seen how both talked in a stimulously talk.
On the Red Bull Ring, on which he was able to win five times, Verstappen’s weekend ended early, disappointing, it had taken a difficult course anyway: Verstappen had only started from seventh place. In the fight for the World Cup, his failure is a bitter setback.
Explosive: In view of the ongoing speculation to switch from Verstappen to Mercedes and the interest in the four -time champion, the crash did not lack a certain explosiveness. In the silver arrows, he could possibly become an Antonelli teammate.
