F1: Is it the Red Bull, or is it Verstappen?

–by Mark Cipolloni–

Is it the Red Bull, or is it Verstappen?

For the 5th race in a row, Sergio Perez has not advanced out of Q1 in his #11 Red Bull Honda.

But for the 5th race in a row, Max Verstappen has put that identical Red Bull Honda on pole.

This begs the question – is the Red Bull really a superior car, or is Max Verstappen the one who makes it fly?

In the dry – he’s fast.

When it’s raining – he’s fast.

Rain is the great equalizer, right?  It takes the superior car out of the equation, so they say.

When the Mercedes cars were dominating for 8 years, they would typically qualify 1-2 because the car was superior to everything else.

However, we are not seeing that with the Red Bull cars. They seldom qualify 1-2, and I would argue the Red Bull may not be as superior a car as everyone thinks.

Having studied this sport for 60 years, I believe what we are witnessing is the greatest driver of all-time, making everyone think it’s the car.

While the Red Bull is arguably a fast car, none of Max Verstappen’s teammates over the years have been able to make the car do what he does.

So sit back, grab a cold beer, and be happy you are alive to witness arguably the most talented driver to ever get behind the wheel of a race car.

TBD: To Be Determined

Verstappen his last 28 races, he won 21 of them….amazing consistent domination and a Red Bull team that is performing at an elite level.
