SUZUKA, Japan, Sept 23 (Reuters) - Max Verstappen told Red Bull's doubters to 'go suck on an egg' after taking a dominant Japanese Grand Prix pole position a week after the team's record run of 15 wins in a row ended in Singapore. There had been some who suspected a recent technical directive on flexible bodywork had clipped Red Bull's wings in Singapore and possibly beyond, but Verstappen showed normal service had resumed. "I think they can go suck on an egg. "I think what we've witnessed today is something very special," team boss Christian Horner told Sky Sports television. Horner said Singapore was "a bit of an anomaly" and the team had learned a few lessons.

SINGAPORE, Sept 15 (Reuters) - Big lizards are a familiar sight in equatorial Singapore but they startled Red Bull's double world champion Max Verstappen and other drivers after straying onto the Formula One racetrack during practice on Friday. "It's going to be a brave marshal to go out and pick one of those up," Red Bull team boss Christian Horner told Sky Sports television. Local fauna are not uncommon company, with drivers used to groundhogs and foxes on Canada's Gilles Villeneuve circuit in Montreal. Friday's lizard incursion recalled the 2016 Singapore race when Verstappen was surprised on track by a big one that his engineer dubbed "Godzilla". They are also diurnal, meaning they sleep at night, and will hopefully pose no further difficulty for drivers preparing for Sunday's night race.

SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium, July 30 (Reuters) - "Sparky" radio exchanges between Max Verstappen and his long-time race engineer Gianpiero "GP" Lambiase entertained a global audience during Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix but also raised questions about the rapport between the two. Verstappen, completely dominant on track with his eighth win in a row for Red Bull, said all was fine and the pair had a very good relationship. "You used a lot of tyre on the out-lap Max, not sure that was sensible," the engineer observed in another comment. "GP and Max have been together since the first race that Max stepped into the car," he added. "To race engineer Max Verstappen you've got to have strength of character, because he is one tough customer and many race engineers would crumble under that pressure," he said.

Verstappen, who started sixth after a five-place grid penalty, extended his championship lead over Perez to 125 points -- effectively five races -- after taking the chequered flag 22.3 seconds ahead of the Mexican. He is heading for a third title with plenty of races to spare, the only real doubt being where he might seal it. Charles Leclerc, who started on pole for Ferrari, completed the podium with Lewis Hamilton fourth and securing fastest lap for Mercedes. A little bit of pit stop training," Verstappen suggested with 14 laps remaining. I was there and he just turned in like I didn't exist," said the Australian rookie who finished second in Saturday's sprint.

Unhappy Perez says Verstappen showed "who he really is"

Nov 13 (Reuters) - Red Bull's Sergio Perez said team mate Max Verstappen showed "who he really is" after the double Formula One world champion refused to give back a place in Sunday's Sao Paulo Grand Prix. The radio comment came after the Mexican let Verstappen overtake on the understanding that the position would be returned if the Dutch driver could not pass Alpine's Fernando Alonso for fifth place. Perez needs every point to beat Ferrari's Charles Leclerc to overall runner-up while Verstappen has already clinched the title. Perez and Leclerc are now tied on 290 points, with Leclerc ahead 3-2 on race wins. Verstappen, who had been penalised for a collision with Mercedes's Lewis Hamilton, was told by his engineer Gianpiero Lambiase to let Perez through at the finish but ignored it and took sixth, with Perez seventh.
CNN —For much of the 2022 Formula One season, Max Verstappen’s inevitable march to a second consecutive world championship felt more like a procession than a competition. “We note the findings by the FIA of ‘minor overspend breaches of the financial regulations’ with surprise and disappointment,” Red Bull said in a statement earlier this month. The FIA has yet to announce how Red Bull will be penalized for breaching the cost cap. “But Red Bull have not only made the best of the new regulations, but they seem to have a driver in Max that is driving at a level that I’ve not seen since Lewis Hamilton. Max Verstappen celebrates becoming F1 world champion with his race engineer, Gianpiero Lambiase.
