After the finish of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, a grumpy Jos Verstappen stepped into the image of the television broadcast, who made no secret of his disappointment that it was not his son Max who won the race, but Sergio Perez. In response to the result of the race in Jeddah, Jos did not miss the opportunity to prick the Mexican.
Jos Verstappen: “I knew Max would show the best lap. Did Max do well? This point for the best lap at least enabled him to keep the lead in the individual classification.
Of course we all want to win, but in Jeddah it was impossible because of the speed difference [с Пересом] turned out to be minimal. Perez doesn’t often get the chance to win – he understands this too, so he took his chance.
Qualification is developed against Max. He was unlucky and we all know what that is. Otherwise he would have won pole easily and the race would have been much easier. What we predicted has come true: it is difficult to regain positions on this track. On the track, where there are many long straights, little depends on the driver. We need difficult tracks with many turns.
Everything looks like we’re going to dominate this season. We have a really good car – you saw how easily we get away from the rest – one second per lap.
Can other teams overtake us this year? I don’t know, but we’re certainly not sitting still. The team is already preparing updates for the car.”
