The Netherlands Grand Prix had the local Max Verstappen as the winner, but one of the controversies of the race was what happened in the final part of the event, since the Red Bull strategy chief, Hannah Schmitzthey pointed out that she had drawn up a plan in which the pilot of Alpha Tauri, Yuki Tsunoda, would have participated.
The Japanese driver stopped twice in the Zandvoort circuit. The first was in the pits due to a problem with the tires and, later, on the track he pulled over because his car would not have looked good, so they applied the safety car.
These incidents were used by Max Verstappen to overtake Lewis Hamilton and head for victory. The situation did not go unnoticed by the people and they began to criticize the strategist of Czech Perez for supposedly doing a ‘dirty’ deed to beat Mercedes.

As a result of these comments, AlphaTauri released a statement to end speculation about an alleged conspiracy between RedBull and its ‘sister’ team and lamented the hatred that has been generated towards Schmitz.
“It is incredibly disheartening to read the words and comments directed towards our team and the chief strategy officer of Red BullHannah Schmitz. Such hateful behavior cannot be tolerated, and the accusations of foul play are unacceptable, untrue, and completely disrespectful to Hannah and us,” she read in the released statement.
