εξαιτίας του ατυχήματός του στο Silverstone, το 2021.
O Verstappen λοιπόν, έκανε ειδική μνεία στη νίκη του στον αγώνα της Αμερικής, λίγους αγώνες μετά το περιστατικό του Silverstone λέγοντας χαρακτηριστικά: «Μετά το ατύχημα στο Silverstone, έχω προβλήματα ορατότητας, ειδικά σε πίστες με υψομετρικές διαφορές ή με πολλές διαφημιστικές πινακίδες. Σε εκείνο τον αγώνα, δεν μαχόμουν μόνο με τον Lewis αλλά υπήρχαν στιγμές που θόλωνε το οπτικό μου πεδίο.
Ήταν σα να οδηγώ σκάφος με 300 km/h. Δεν το έχω πει ποτέ αλλά για μερικούς γύρους, η κατάσταση ήταν τόσο άσχημη που σκέφτηκα να αποσυρθώ από τον αγώνα. Το μόνο που με βοηθούσε ήταν να επικεντρωθώ στις αναπνοές μου, την ώρα που ο Lewis ήταν κολλημένος πίσω μου. Ήταν μία σημαντική νίκη, την οποία χρειαζόμουν επιτακτικά στη μάχη για τον τίτλο
Verstappen never takes defeats well, but this was particularly bad. And that’s precisely because it was about more than one tricky weekend.
It furthers the feeling of a schism emerging at times. Verstappen is usually performing at a very high level and has previously warned that he is, effectively, papering over cracks.
Red Bull sees things differently: that when the car hasn’t been perfect, the team has still executed strategies and pitstops brilliantly, which alongside Verstappen’s own excellent driving has contributed to scoring victories when they might have only been seconds or thirds.
No doubt this would have been at the forefront of some minds when Verstappen criticised Red Bull’s strategy throughout the grand prix, and responded sharply to Lambiase’s instruction to bring his tyres in gently with: “No, don't give me that bullshit now. You guys give me the f**king strategy, OK? I'm trying to rescue what’s left, for f**k’s sake.”

That had a huge air of ‘I’m doing this all by myself’, which won’t have been missed and won’t go down well. And Verstappen won’t really believe it – he’s just annoyed.
However, it is undeniable that Verstappen has reservations about his team that weren’t there a few months ago.
That might seem over the top for a driver who leads the world championship by 76 points, especially when Red Bull’s still 51 points clear in the constructors’ standings too. But such an attitude is what Verstappen is afraid of. Red Bull’s in a dog fight and, Verstappen’s implied, some people in the team don’t seem to realise it. Team principal Christian Horner politely refuted that as he sidestepped various questions about the anger Verstappen exhibited on Sunday and the tension it conveyed.
Whether Red Bull agrees or not, Verstappen’s warnings are not without foundation. He has been critical of the limitations of the car for a long time. This wasn’t a problem while Red Bull had a big performance advantage, but it’s more costly now the opposition have closed in – and by sticking with the car’s mechanical platform that Verstappen has raised concerns over, Red Bull might even have imposed a lower aerodynamic development ceiling on itself. Maybe that’s why others are finding bigger gains now.
The more Verstappen feels Red Bull is asking of him, the more it risks lighting a fuse that seems to be getting shorter. There are past examples, as recently as Austria three weeks ago, of Verstappen losing at least some sense of control in a grand prix when the race is slipping away from him. That will only be exacerbated when Verstappen’s in the middle of a frustrating weekend. And even further when he’s in the middle of a frustrating run of races.
