Focus on the other teams
Max Verstappen is working on a Formula 1 season in which the necessary records will be broken again. The unprecedented dominant combination of the 25-year-old driver and his RB19, although some competitors might like it, is no reason for the FIA boss to intervene.
Max Verstappen has won all but two races this season. The other two were prey for teammate Sergio Pérez. For the time being, there is no measure on Red Bull, especially not on the RB19 in the hands of Verstappen. Some competitors undoubtedly hope that the FIA will intervene. Those sounds are heard especially at Mercedes and not for the first time. Lewis Hamilton, for example, suggested that the teams should not be allowed to work on next year’s car until August 1. He fears that Red Bull is already miles ahead in the development of the new car, because in principle they no longer need to improve on this year’s.
FIA boss Mohammed Ben Sulayem does not want to intervene. According to him, it is simply the merit of Red Bull and Verstappen that things are going so well. “It’s his time, it’s Red Bull’s time. What are we going to do … punish the best boy?” Sky Sports. “We can’t penalize people for doing better, for trying better. That’s unfair.” Ben Sulayem has a better idea: the other teams just have to step up their game. Red Bull has set the example, now it’s up to the rest to catch up. “No, let the other teams get good. No one is stopping them from improving.”
