After all, the world champion also had little to do with the chosen strategy of Red Bull. “It was difficult the right tires to choose, but I think we chose well.” With that he seemed to make a small point towards McLaren, where Lando Norris was disappointing.

What does George Russell say?
Russell spoke of one of the most exciting rounds in his career. On Sunday it will probably also follow one of the most exciting starts from the career of the Mercedes driver when Verstappen starts immediately behind him. Russell indicated that he was not afraid of the Dutchman in the fight towards turn 1. “We are buddies,” he joked first. To say then: “I still have a few points on my license to play with.”
Penalty points Max Verstappen
With that, Russell referred to the fact that Verstappen can no longer afford any errors in this and coming Formula 1 weekend. The Dutchman has currently scored 11 penalty points in the last 365 days. If he goes to twelve, he is suspended a race.
