Hamilton is annoyed by Verstappen's salary

formula 1

Max Verstappen annoys Lewis Hamilton with two things and his payroll is one of them, according to Red Bull Racing team advisor Helmut Marko. Hamilton's contract with Mercedes expires at the end of this season, and according to the latest rumors, a tempting offer from Maranello is now influencing any negotiations.

Verstappen earns 55 million for each season he drives, 20 million more than Hamilton gets from Mercedes, which failed to provide the seven-time world champion with a winning car this year. According to Helmut Mark, Hamilton would prefer to move to Red Bull, but there for him according to Christian Horner

formula 1

"It's my fault that we didn't set a time. I drove a bit off the ideal line coming out of the sixth corner. I felt understeer and I couldn't get back on the line, so I stopped the lap. Sometimes you need luck and you have to hope not there will be an interruption.Ven

Verstappen's position on the starting line was not disputed

formula 1

After Max Verstappen won the F1 Australian Grand Prix, there was speculation as to why the Dutchman was not penalized for wrongly lining up his starting position. In some photos, the Red Bull racer was standing on the white line, which marks the starting point, with the front wheels of the racing car. But the explanation is very simple, because the rules state that the tires with their "contact surface" must stand within the area marked by white lines. From the clearer photos, it appears that Max positioned his racing car in such a way that the contact surface of the front tires was not outside the marked area, while the current world champion explained that it was not a deliberate act. "To be honest, I braked a bit later and I lost the reference point," explained Verstappen. "Looked

Verstappen happy with first place after problems with tire warm-up

formula 1

The Dutchman felt a sense of relief after setting the fastest time in the final fast lap, which saw him take the 21st pole position of his career by almost a quarter of a second ahead of George Russell. "The last round was pretty good," he said. "Until then we had a lot of problems with grip. Everyone did two practice laps, or two fast laps. I only had one lap and this time it worked out, so I'm very happy." The race in Australia will be e
