Max Verstappen has snapped back at Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff after he questioned the Dutchman’s ongoing dominance over Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez. A gap of 138 points currently separates the duo in the Drivers’ Championship standings, with Verstappen simply in a league of his own as things stand.<\/p>\n
Perez had a 15-second advantage over Verstappen at one point during last weekend’s Dutch Grand Prix, although the latter inevitably ended up winning to secure his ninth straight F1 victory. The result left Wolff at a loss to explain why Verstappen was so much quicker than Perez in the same car, given that the latter has already proven himself as a worthy Grand Prix winner.<\/p>\n
Wolff described the situation at Red Bull as ‘odd’, saying: “Checo’s not an idiot. We have seen in all these years Checo is a Grand Prix winner, multiple Grand Prix winner, and he was at Racing Point, so I cannot comprehend.<\/p>\n
“We’ve seen that Max has destroyed every single team-mate that was with him, whether it’s his ability to create a car around himself, that is just very tricky to control but fast if you can, and that creates those gaps. But I haven’t heard any obvious explanations. But yeah, odd.”<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not like that, I just drive the car the fastest way possible. I\u2019m not there to tell the guys ‘give me more because that\u2019s how I like it’. I just say to design me the fastest car and I\u2019ll drive around that because every single year, every car drives a little bit differently.<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

There has been no indication that Red Bull’s power dynamic will shift in his favour any time soon, while it has also been reported that he could be ditched by the team when the campaign draws to a close.<\/p>\n Follow our Express Sport<\/i> page on Instagram <\/b>here<\/b>. <\/b><\/p>\n
