[Saba Sports News] The F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix has concluded, and as expected, the Red Bull team continued to perform poorly. Star driver Max Verstappen finished only sixth and was even outperformed by his teammate Sergio Perez. After the race, Verstappen discussed the car’s poor performance in a media interview, stating that he is still unable to address the car setup issues and even hinted at wanting to switch teams. Verstappen said, “This season I have other issues to focus on, and I am working hard to resolve them. As for Aston Martin, that might be a consideration for my future, but not right now.” I believe that one of the key people Verstappen should thank for his tremendous success at Red Bull is Adrian Newey, who has now left Red Bull and will join Aston Martin in March next year. Over the past thirty years, teams where Newey has worked have always attracted top F1 drivers, as it almost guarantees championships.
