Max Verstappen won the Brazilian GP despite the challenging situations at the Interlagos circuit. The Dutchman faced severe issues with the red flags and safety car conditions before the main race which caused him to be eliminated from the Q2 qualifying session. The 27-year-old immediately ill-talked FIA’s wrongful ways of waiting for the red flag.

Hence, Ex-F1 driver Christijan Albers berated Red Bull’s timing rather than it being the governing body’s fault. Christijan Albers believed that Red Bull should have been on top of the different contingencies possible at the Brazilian GP qualifying. Multiple drivers had already crashed out on many occasions and a red flagged Qualifying session wasn’t much surprising.

Albers further noted that going out on the track was better than taking a risk under a red flag. These are circumstances that you have to be on top of, in these circumstances, it is much better to go earlier than later, you do not want to take this risk with a red flag. Christijan Albers told ViaplayMoreover, Albers felt that releasing Verstappen late on the track was a part of Red Bull’s arrogance and overconfidence in the latter’s ability.

Milton Keynes should have sent the Dutchman out on the track earlier with intermediate tires just like McLaren did with Lando Norris. However, the team ultimately left the 27-year-old vulnerable, leading to his elimination from the Q2 session. This is also the arrogance of Red Bull, who only has confidence in Max Verstappen.

That’s the problem, right, having that confidence in that team, that they’ll just do it.

The team’s initial decision to deploy both drivers late on track was yet another blunder.

As a result, Albers labeled the qualifying session as the worst qualifying ever for Milton Keynes due to the double elimination. Then you notice that he doesn’t have enough time, because he was searching, where should that car go. Then they shoot themselves in the foot.

It was a painful qualifying. Maybe the worst qualifying ever. Christijan Albers notedMax Verstappen (via Formularapida.

The Dutchman has more or less sealed his victory in the 2024 drivers’ championship following the race win. Hence, the 27-year-old will continue to keep up with performances for the three final races of the season.
