“Maybe we just start communicating in sign language. It's probably cheaper as well.”
Max Verstappen, at 0:29 of “Red Bull drivers furious at the team 😡” on The Race’s channel.
Around it
- 0:15 Verstappen was race winner Kimi Antonelli's main challenger in the early stages, but his race went downhill after Red Bull put him on softs again at his first stop, making it obvious he was on a two-stopper.
- 0:24 He wasn't happy with that, but was more annoyed by radio problems that meant it was hard to communicate with the pit wall.
- 0:29 He said sarcastically, "Maybe we just start communicating in sign language. It's probably cheaper as well."
- 0:34 Hadjar lamented, "The hardest things it seems like we can do, and the silly things we can't."
- 0:38 Red Bull's chasing urgent fixes, but sorting the race starts is particularly complicated, and it might not be solved until next year.
