Juan Pablo Montoya was not surprised by Max Verstappen’s choice, who preferred to try to rebuild Red Bull rather than jump into the fastest car on the current starting grid.
“If I were Max Verstappen, I would have stayed at Red Bull too – said Juan Pablo Montoya reached by BetBrothers – I believe the fact that he was negotiating with other teams was simply a tactic to raise the price. After all, Red Bull is the right environment for him and he is the right driver for them.”

“They are willing to do anything for him, they have built everything around him – added Montoya – remember when Perez said that Red Bull would be happy to field only one car?

Even in Monza it is difficult to evaluate Liam Lawson’s performance because it is not known if the two cars were actually in the same specification.”
