Max Verstappen believed he received “no feedback from his Red Bull team during a confusing qualifying.
Max Verstappen expressed frustration with the ‘Red Bull silence’ during the confusing Canadian GP qualifying session, where he qualified sixth in Montreal. He surpassed his teammate Isack Hadjar in Q3, voicing his disapproval of the new rules and the proposed 60:40 power unit power output change. Verstappen explained the challenges he faced during the session at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, mentioning the lack of feedback from the pit-wall, the difficulty with straight line speed, and the confusing performance fluctuations. Despite seeking feedback from the team multiple times, he received no response, leading to laps that weren’t up to par according to his standards. Verstappen speculated that the team might not have had answers due to sticking to a pre-agreed setup, emphasizing the disconnect between his feedback and the team’s confidence in their chosen direction.
