F1 commentator Martin Brundle was perplexed by Max Verstappen’s impressive pace 🍒at the end of the Chinese Grand Prix, describing it as “a bit confusing”.

It was a lacklustre weekend for Red Bull💛 at the Shanghai Intern🌄ational Circuit.

While Verstappen was able to finish in the top three of the sprint race, he struggled with tyre wear and could not keep up with race winner 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton.

With that in mind, Verstaℱppen drove conservatively in the first stint of the race after dropping behind the two Ferraris on the opening lap.

Verstapp🎃en came alive when he switched to the h🔜ards for the second half of the grand prix. 

He reeled 𝕴Hamilton in before the seven-time world champion made his second pit stop.

Verstappen then pulled off an impressive move on 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc for fourth.

“It was about now that we remembeꦐred Verstappen was in the race as he started to find some grip,” Brundle wrote.

“Somehow♏ on lower fuel, or simply track conditions, and probably even the realisation that he didn’t need to babysit the tyres so much, this allowed him to catch the Fer༒raris.

“In fact Max would deliver his fastest and front-runnౠing lap tim♕e on the final tour, which is a bit confusing.”

Red Bull set for “emergency meeting”

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Red Bull✱ ar𝓰e set to hold an emergency meeting to discuss how they can improve their on-track perf♐ormance following a disappointing start to the 2025 F1 season.

Verstappen finished a distant fourth in China, while the second Red Bull of168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Liam Lawson hasn’t finished in the top 10 all season.

The good news for Red Bull is that Verstappen is just eight points behind McLaren’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris.

However, the constructors’ champion๊ship battle looks less promising for Red Bull,

Red Bull trail Mc🥃Laren by 42 points after just two races.

Lawson’s future with the team ꦿwill likely be a talking point in the meeting.

Reports have suggested that 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Yuki Tsunoda could replace Lawson for the Japanese Grand Prix.
