Max Verstappen Exposes Red Bull’s Huge Weakness at Mexico GP

Formula 1 will take the grand circus to the Mexican streets now, with the Mexico GP up next. Max Verstappen remains the favorite to emerge victorious in the race as he boasts the most wins on the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez circuit.

Moreover, Red Bull has achieved a great turnaround in performance, which strengthens the Dutchman’s winning chances. However, Verstappen has made a shocking confession about the team’s weakness at the upcoming Mexican weekend.

Max Verstappen‘s start to the weekend has been great as he topped the FP2 session after logging the fastest lap out of the bunch in one hour. Moreover, Red Bull Challenger is performing much better now and responding well to Verstappen’s inputs. The team has also brought in multiple upgrades to the Mexico GP in hopes of helping the Dutchman in his championship ambitions.

Ahead of the race weekend, Max Verstappen cast doubts on his chances of succeeding in Mexico and keeping up with his winning pace. Verstappen insisted that in the short run, using the soft compound, the team managed to achieve a great lap. However, everything apart from this stint was bad, and the Dutchman couldn’t really achieve any notable lap times and results.

Max Verstappen reckoned that the medium short run wasn’t great, which was definitely a cause of concern for the team. The Dutchman added that the biggest concern was the long run, which would definitely give him trouble in the main race, where the team was already struggling. As such, this was the biggest concern for Milton Keynes ahead of the Mexico GP race.

The short run on the soft, we managed to do a good lap, The rest, everything else was pretty bad. The medium short run was not great, and the big problem is the long runs, where we seem to struggle a lot. So that is, of course, a big concern for the race.

Max Verstappen said, as reported by motorsport.com.
