Russian rider Nikolai Martsenko, commenting on the rider’s first victory “Red Bull” Max Verstappen in the Formula 1 championship, said that this season the Dutchman had no serious competition in the fight for the title.
Verstappen clinched the 2022 championship earlier than expected on Sunday with victory in the Japanese Grand Prix. This is the second consecutive championship title in the career of the 25-year-old rider.
– Of course, it’s always interesting when the fight for the title goes to the last race, but Max this year is in very good shape. He just rolled in his league. Neither his partner was competitive enough for him, nor his rivals from other teams. And Ferrari tripped over its own tails: unsuccessful strategy, mistakes at pit stops. Although at the start of the season there was some pressure from Ferrari, and it looked like the teams would fight until the very end.
Charles Leclerc disappointed me personally. Yes, he is a fast and very talented driver, but this year he often made mistakes when there was pressure in the race or a very tense situation. He has a lot of unforced errors, as we say in tennis. Yes, and with the reliability of “Ferrari” had problems.
Also, with the new regulations, Red Bull has a very fast car both on the straights and in the corners. They clearly found a definite advantage with the suspension.
This year was not like last year, when everyone saw the intense struggle of two titans – Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, – Martsenko told “”.
