Austrian Gerhard Berger said that the time may have come for Formula 1 or its leaders to decide whether they want to race in the rain or not.

BERGER on ALBON and PEREZ: Red Bull is loyal

Red Bull

Gerhard Berger was a guest on the show "Sport und Talk aus dem Hangar-7" on Servus TV, talking about the just-concluded Formula 1 season. The Austrian was looking forward to Red Bull's victory in Abu Dhabi. "Max is an outstanding racer, he is always in the forefront and the race is at the highest level." Berger continues: "The key to winning the final race of the season was Saturday. Normally, with the special power of a Mercedes engine, it's almost impossible to win a pole position, but Max did it on the Yas Marina Circuit. And if you then take the lead in the race, then you don't drive in so-called dirty air, which makes it easier to control the race. And that's exactly what Max did. " Gerhard Berger said Red Bull were loyal to their own offspring, but acknowledged that the Verstappen-Perez racing alliance would be very strong.
