Ex-F1🔜 team boss Eddie Jordan has launched an attack at former FIA race director Niels Wittich over his handling of the red flag in qualiღfying at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen🙈 was knocked out in Q2 at Interlagos after he was unable to improve on his final lap.

This was because of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lance Stroll’s stri♏cken Aston Martin, which r𝓡esulted in a red flag.

Unlike the other red flag stoppages in qualifying, it took approximate▨ly 40 seconds for it to be deployed, leaving Verstappen irked by the timing of it.

While Verstappen would go on to win the race later that day from 17th on the grid, it could have been decisive in the title race, given rival 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris started from pole.

Speaking on the podca🐼st, Jordan hit out at the FIA following an exchange with co-host an🧔d former F1 driver David Coulthard.

Coulthard started the discussion by saying: “I think it’s kind of found its natural place now where the luck of wheꦑre the Safety Car comes out is the luck of the racing gods.

“We have to assume that the race director never looks at t🍸hings like where cars are as to whether…”

Jordan quickly stated: “Of course he does! 𝄹Of course he does!”

“Are you telling me that Max was ❀dealt a fair deal? Was he dealt a fair deal when the red flag came out six cars, seven cars later? Come on David, don’t be stupid.

“You know the gods are in Lando’s hands. They want Lando to win this ꦜChampionship. But he’s not going to, because Max has outfoxed him. That’s it.”

Coulthard replied: “Well, look, I don’t know if it’s true. I think that sometimes the racing gods just are…”

Jordan conඣcluded: “The r꧅ed flag was wrong! It was a mistake!

“He f***** up, didn’t he!”

Verst꧟appen can win𒊎 his fourth consecutive F1 title at next weekend’s Las Vegas Grand Prix.
