Max Verstappen He is the master of the tracks. The Dutch driver scored his eighth victory so far in the 2023 Formula 1 season, making it clear that the three-time championship is more than certain.
However, despite his clear dominance in the Belgian GP, Max was not willing to give in to anyone, much less to Sergio ‘Checo’ Pérez, for which reason a new controversy arose during the race.
Verstappen disobeyed an order?
Checo Pérez was leading the competition in the first few laps, although his pleasure did not last long, since his teammate passed him. However, prior to that, Verstappen had a discussion with his engineer, since he wanted to know the Mexican’s strategy.
Both drivers started with soft tires, but due to the imminent rain, they had to enter the pits, being the man from Guadalajara the first to do so. The Dutchman was asked to hold out more, so he asked Gianpiero Lambiase, his engineer at Red Bull, to know what was happening with Checo Perez, since I wanted to do the same. In the end, he ended up disobeying, since he pitted earlier than planned by his team.
“You just follow my instructions,” Lambiase ordered. “I just want to know what he’s doing,” Max replied.
How many points does Checo Pérez add?
After the Belgian GP, Sergio ‘Checo’ Pérez is consolidated in second position with 171 points, although he is a long way from the imposing Max Verstappen, who registers 281.
