Jos Verstappen unhappy with Red Bull's strategy in Sunday's race

Jos Verstappen was very unhappy with the strategy he chose for his son Max at Sunday’s race in Monaco at Red Bull. This is supposed to enable Sergio Perez to win the race.

After Ferrari took the lead in the start of the race, Red Bull called Sergio Perez to change tires in the XNUMXth round. Verstappen did so two laps later.

After a mess at Ferrari at the stops, Perez took the lead and Verstappen was third.

Jos believes Red Bull could have chosen a more aggressive stop strategy as the overall leader.

“As a father, I am disappointed with the outcome of the race. Max's third place is not the best result, "Jos told Max Verstappn's official website.
“It is a demanding weekend for Max. Red Bull achieved a very good result, but they did not help Max to finish higher. The third place is more due to Ferrari's mistake at Leclerc than Red Bull's strategy. This time she was completely in favor of Perez. "

Verstappen is also convinced that Red Bull knew about the advantage of an additional early stop by changing tires (from wet to intermediate). The team closely followed Pierre Gasly's ride. The Frenchman was one of the first to decide on such a move.

“Perez won because of the early stop. They can say that they wanted to take a risk with Max, but it is clear that this was not the best strategy. ”

“Max lost 10 important points. Due to the already two resignations, every point is important. Ferrari currently has a better car, at least in terms of qualifications. ”
