This is Alain Prost, who spoke about the present of the Austrian team in the 2023 season. Max Verstappen, the current two-time champion, won the last weekend in Australia.
Winning the title of Formula 1 world champion four times enables you to be more than an authorized word. Therefore, that the French Alain Prost alerted about the future of the team that dominates the current events of the highest category of world motorsport forces us to pay a little attention: predicted a crisis in Red Bull in the short term with the Mexican Sergio ‘Checo’ Pérez as the protagonist.
Although the Austrian team continues to bet on the Dutchman Max Verstappencurrent two-time champion, to fight for the drivers’ championship, the good performances of Checho Pérez so far this season, could make him fight hand in hand with his teammate for the title.
However, this could generate a crisis in the team, but, above all, a great headache for the director, Christian Horner. That is why Prost, in an interview with the French newspaper The teamsaid: “At Red Bull, the whole system is based on one driver who is Max Verstappen. In the past this approach has worked well, but now we are seeing the first signs of exhaustion. Checo Pérez has already established himself in the team and has shown that he can win. Now he does not want to take a step back so as not to lose his position “.
Likewise, the former pilot said that the Dutchman, despite being in a very good moment, has to be on alert: “Although Red Bull’s dominance continues, I think the next few weeks will be very important for the current world champion (Verstappen). It is clear that at any moment anything can happen because, even if you are on top, a crisis may soon be waiting for you. “.
At this moment, with three competitions, everything is very even between Checo and Max, although there is a small difference in favor of the latter. Verstappen won two races and is the leader of the championship with 69 points. On his side, the Mexican was the winner once and is the escort of his teammate with 54 points.
Prost, very hard with the present of Mclaren
The French critic of Mclaren, a team with which he was established three times in 1985, 1986 and 1989 and which today is far from its best version in F1.
“We are seeing a very strange start to the season. You can see that almost all the teams have problems, none are doing well and in a way we can call it a crisis. We see that the factory teams or the historical teams have problems, McLaren, for example, it goes backwards every year”hill.
