Earth swallows me!Verstappen’s father’s face at the Perez celebration
There are moments in life when you are in the wrong place at the wrong time. And you just have to put up with the downpour.that’s what happened Max Verstappen’s fatherformer F1 driver Jos Verstappenwhen he finished F1 Saudi Grand Prix 2023The current world champion’s father has revealed (in case there are still doubts) that his harmony with the Mexican is zero, and since last season the pilot from Guadalajara with his son. He did it with a very natural reaction, perfectly ‘passing’ Perez’s celebration of being caught by the completion of the race and hugging the mechanics as he arrived at parc-ferme.
The ‘Czech’ mechanic was right by his side and Jos Verstappen, far from hiding it, remained completely stiff as if he wasn’t with him, showing no sign of joy to his son’s partner. Of course, when I finished hugging the mechanic, “Czech” and Joss gave me a high-five on the initiative of the Mexican.
As if that wasn’t enough, Joss later sarcastically referred to Perez’s victory. “I don’t think Perez has a lot of chances[to win]. He sees that too and runs full speed ahead,” he said.
As already seen in the race, the tension between the two Red Bull teammates is enormous. Jeddah At his round, Max kept pushing non-stop to catch up to Perez, revealing what Red Bull didn’t want: the true pace of his car. And at the end of the event, he stole the fastest lap on the final lap from Mexico to maintain the World Cup lead and prevent the new leader from becoming ‘Czech’. The Mexican was surprised when Max risked an attack between the walls of Jeddah on the last lap.
This adds to Verstappen’s controversial radio show on their first date in Bahrain and Perez’s threats just before the start of the World Cup that if Max doesn’t help him, neither will he.
