It seems that Red Bull has suggested that Max Verstappen is not the only “bad guy” within their driver ranks. This could be in reference to the competitive and intense environment within the team, where tensions can sometimes arise between drivers, team management, and other figures involved. Verstappen is often seen as the team’s lead driver and the focus of many of their strategies, which can make him a central figure in such discussions.
However, Red Bull’s comments might also be addressing how other team members or drivers might face pressure or exhibit traits that lead to conflict or tension within the team. It could be an indication that Verstappen isn’t alone in dealing with the competitive and sometimes difficult nature of Formula 1, both in terms of on-track rivalry and off-track team dynamics.
According to former Formula 1 driver Marc Surer, Verstappen’s new Red Bull team-mate, Liam Lawson, also falls into the “bad guy” category.
Red Bull told Max Verstappen that he isn’t the only “bad guy” within their driver lineup. Marc Surer, a former Formula 1 driver, suggested that Verstappen’s new teammate, Liam Lawson, also fits into the “bad guy” category. Verstappen, often portrayed as the villain in F1, was involved in on-track clashes with rivals like Lando Norris and George Russell last season, drawing criticism from figures like Martin Brundle and Damon Hill. Despite the negative perception, Verstappen’s “bad guy” persona is seen as beneficial for the sport.
