Max Verstappen Dominates F1 Grand Prix in Japan, Calls Out McLaren for Being Invisible
In a bold statement to Motorsport.com, Max Verstappen asserted his dominance in the Japanese Grand Prix, securing victory in his Red Bull RB21 and taking a swipe at his closest rivals in the McLaren MCL39, stating, “In that car, they wouldn’t have even seen me…”
Despite claiming pole position and the win in Japan, Verstappen believes McLaren currently possesses the fastest Formula 1 car by far. Even after his fourth consecutive victory in Suzuka, the Red Bull driver admitted McLaren’s superior speed but noted his inability to utilize the DRS for overtaking. While crediting his win to a team effort, Verstappen remains cautious about his prospects for the upcoming Bahrain race, emphasizing the significance of qualifying and the challenges of passing opponents on the track.
“I didn’t expect to win here, especially after Friday,” Verstappen revealed to Viaplay post-race. “Starting on pole was crucial this weekend. I think McLaren was faster, but they couldn’t get into DRS. I’m very pleased with my performance; in that car [McLaren], they wouldn’t have even seen me.”
This thrilling victory adds another chapter to Max Verstappen’s impressive season, solidifying his position as a top contender in the F1 championship race. Stay tuned for more heart-pounding action as the competition heats up in the world of Formula 1.
