Zak Brown admits it's a 'bit scary' for Red Bull's rivals to contemplate what might be coming from Max Verstappen and his team.
McLaren chief Zak Brown reveals he fears ‘what might be coming’As normal service resumed in Japan, Max Verstappen running riot over his rivals in practice, Zak Brown admits it’s a “bit scary” for Red Bull’s rivals to consider what might come next.
It was a strange weekend for the team who struggled to find a good set-up, never mind a perfect one, but team boss Christian Horner warned rivals at the start of the Japanese Grand Prix weekend that their Singapore woes were “circuit-specific”.And with that Verstappen promptly resumed normal service to dominate the practice sessions where he was six-tenths up in FP1 and still held a comfortable margin of 0.3s in Friday’s second session.
The Dutchman’s pace put paid to any suggestions Red Bull are on the decline, or that the newly introduced FIA technical directives had hurt them.“I think we’ll be competitive around here,” he told Sky Sports in Japan. “Max is back in the front again, so it was fun while it lasted. “The rest of us are continuing to chase, but the rules are pretty stable. So I think everything that we’re learning now will apply to next year’s car.”
