Jacques Villeneuve: Verstappen tendrá que tomar una decisión difícil

      En la Fórmula 1, continúan discutiendo la posible transferencia de Max Verstappen de Red Bull Racing a Mercedes el próximo año. Jacques Vilneuve, campeón del mundo en 1997, reflexionaba en la transmisión del canal Viaplay sobre qué consideraciones puede tener en cuenta Max al tomar su decisión.

      Jacques Vilneuve: «Max tendrá que tomar una decisión difícil. Recuerden a Lewis Hamilton y su paso a Mercedes: en ese momento, todos se burlaban de su decisión. Todos decían: ‘¿Qué hace? ¿Por qué se va del mejor equipo a Mercedes?’ Pero la decisión resultó ser la correcta.

      Ahora, todos piensan que gracias a la nueva reglamentación y a los nuevos motores, Mercedes tendrá ventaja. Como ocurrió cuando la Fórmula 1 pasó de motores atmosféricos a unidades de potencia híbridas. Pero eso no significa que la historia se repita esta vez, aunque la gente piensa que se repetirá».

Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko summed up the race weekend at Silverstone and stated that Max Verstappen is not fighting for the championship this season. Question: After the race finish, you said on live broadcast that even getting close to McLaren is a difficult task... Helmut Marko: Unfortunately, that's true. After Max Verstappen's pole position, everything didn't seem so bad. Unfortunately, we relied on the weather forecast and chose dry track settings. In the rain, it was clear we had no chance. Question: How disappointed were you with Max's spin during the restart? Helmut Marko: Without the spin, Max could have finished third. We just have to admit that McLaren is much better. Question: What can you say about Nico Hülkenberg's first podium? Helmut Marko: After 239 races, he can only be congratulated on this. Everyone in the paddock is happy for him. Question: How seriously was the possibility of signing him considered at Red Bull a few years ago? Helmut Marko: That was before we signed a contract with Sergio Perez. Looking back, it was always 50/50. Sergio was winning then, and Hülkenberg was having bad races. Now he's better. The older he gets, the fewer mistakes he makes. That's why he has a contract with Audi. Question: At Silverstone, Max caused a sensation by taking the wheel of a Mercedes in virtual racing. What do you think about that? Helmut Marko: I wasn't aware, but why not? In real life, Max drives an Aston Martin, Ferrari, Audi. So there's nothing wrong with him also driving a Mercedes. Question: Rumors are circulating that Max's negotiations with Mercedes are ongoing... Helmut Marko: He may be negotiating, but currently, nothing has changed. Question: Is it true that none of the clauses allowing early termination of his contract are currently applicable? Helmut Marko: That's correct. Question: Does Max have a chance to win the next stage at Spa? Helmut Marko: That's possible if the innovations currently in development are ready for Spa. Temperature and corner characteristics should also work in our favor. Question: Would a win by Verstappen at Spa be a long-awaited turning point? Helmut Marko: Yes, but the fight for the title is still over for us. Only Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri are participating. Norris has impressively re-entered this fight after two outstanding races.
