Mark Webber believes Red Bull surprised Max Verstappen with the Brazil team order, one which he refused to follow. F1
There we saw the first real bust-up between Verstappen and Sergio Perez as Red Bull drivers, the team asking Verstappen to yield P6 to Perez to help him in his quest of making it a Red Bull one-two in the Drivers’ Championship. Verstappen refused and Perez was understandably irate after the race.
And while Webber says hindsight is always a wonderful thing in Formula 1, he does feel that Red Bull caught Verstappen a little off-guard with their communication in that instance. “[The team] can’t press the pause button in the middle of the race. The communication with Max in Brazil seemed to surprise him somewhat.
This is a glaring question which the world of Formula 1 and Red Bull themselves will find the answer to in the coming months, as the 2023 season gets underway.
