Max Verstappen responds to haters over Abu Dhabi

The words of Max Verstappen

Max Verstappen spoke at a press conference on the eve of free practice in Mexico: “We feel that we have not made a mistake and that we have included completely unexpected things in the cap budget, but we have to get over it.”

However, they also returned to the subject of the predecessor title, itself much discussed: “Can I shake off all this controversy about 2021? I can, of course, but the critics probably can’t and never will. It’s a problem they have to deal with. It doesn’t matter what I say and what I do, already on the Race Direction decisions in Abu Dhabi their criticism was driven by anger.”

It was Sebastian Vettel who was the first driver to win a world championship with Red Bull. The German put everyone in line for four years in a row, from 2010 to 2013. The Austrian stable returned to success in 2021 thanks to Dutchman Max Verstappen, with the son of art repeating the following year. If there was a battle to the last in 2021, that was not the case in 2022.
