After the Zandvoort race, social media speculated that Red Bull had an agreement with AlphaTauri, and Yuki Tsunoda didn’t just stop twice on the track in the final laps, giving Max Verstappen the necessary conditions to win the race at home. . circuit, which they otherwise won Mercedes racers.
At a press conference on Thursday, Verstappen rejected these conspiracy theories by standing up for his strategist Hannah Schmitz.
Max Verstappen: “It’s funny when someone thinks this is possible in our sport. And the fact that a wave of hate is coming down on individual employees is generally beyond my understanding.
I think Hannah is a very strong person, she always knows what she is doing. I don’t need to comfort her, and besides, she’s not here this weekend. When I see her we can talk about it, but you shouldn’t pay so much attention to this nonsense – conspiracy theorists don’t deserve it.
The problem is that in social networks there is no control – everyone can write whatever they want. I think the management of the companies behind it should be more active in fighting hate speech. What they do is not enough – you can always sign up for a different account or log in from a different IP address – people are smart enough to get around these restrictions.
We have to find a solution, because social networks are growing. Overall, it’s a great thing and a great communication tool, but some people are overly negative. I hope that such publications will become impossible in a few years.”
