After nothing but first and second places for Max Verstappen since the F1 summer break, the Mexico GP weekend is more challenging for Red Bull.
Although the Dutchman topped the timesheets on Friday, he immediately admitted that the long runs were not good enough: “You’re not going to win like this,” he said. A day later, that analysis seemed correct as Verstappen had to settle for fifth place in qualifying and concluded that “nothing worked” with the RB21.
