On the start-finish straight (before DRS activation) in Mexico, the Dutchman’s car accelerated to 251.4 km/h, which is a full 2 km/h less than his teammate Sergio Perez (253.4 km/4) .
It is worth noting that this may be due to the fact that in Mexico Verstappen replaced his engine with an old one, thanks to which the driver avoided a fine.
In this regard, the team is ready to install a new power unit in the car of the three-time world champion.
As Red Bull will exceed the limit on the number of engines used in this replacement, Verstappen will receive a fine.
Earlier, Williams pilot Franco Colapinto tried to close the question of his potential transfer to the Red Bull system.
