Verstappen to RB: "You shouldn't be dealing with Yuki..."

2025-05-28 Verstappen to RB: "You shouldn't be dealing with Yuki..."

Max Verstappen is dissatisfied and is vocal about it. The world champion sharply criticized his team, stating that they should not be focused on the performance of RB rookie Yuki Tsunoda.

Instead, they should be working on providing their drivers with a more competitive car:

"It is obvious that if you think as a team, you want to see both of your cars in the best possible positions. But let's just remember 2023: If we have a really good car, we will be very fast, and it won't matter what the others are trying because we will beat them anyway.

The task is to fight our way back into that position. Sometimes it works - for example, it was like that in Imola - then we feel good about it and the strategies of others don't matter because ours will be the strongest and the most effective.

Of course, as a team, we want to finish in the top positions every weekend, but that is very difficult right now. The competition is tough, which is why I suggest to Red Bull that instead of focusing on Yuki, they should ensure that they provide us with a competitive weapon. Then they will see what we are capable of!" - Max Verstappen conveyed his wishes.
