Eddie Jordan has commented on Red Bull Racing’s performance at Monza. The former Formula 1 team boss suggested that the speed problems that began with Sergio Perez in the spring were not the driver but the car, and that they have now emerged with Max Verstappen.
“What would I do if I was running Red Bull now?” Eddie Jordan asks in the latest episode of the Formula for Success podcast. “I would ask what the settings were at the beginning of the year, when the team was winning comfortably by 15 seconds. What changed after that? Show those updates and everything changed. It’s clear that they don’t work.
You are fooling yourself by believing wind tunnel data. Of course it was the numbers obtained in the pipe that led to the miscalculations.
They need to go back to where it all started and not change anything in the car until there is a clear guarantee that the new products will make it faster. That’s what I think about everything at Red Bull. They are in a catastrophe now.
We all criticized Sergio Perez, but maybe it’s not Perez? Maybe Sergio drives as well as the car allows, and Max simply performs because he can? “I have no doubt that Verstappen is the best driver in Formula 1 at the moment. Finishing fourth, fifth, sixth or whatever would be fatal for him.”
