Verstappen fires back at doubters following Red Bull slump
Max Verstappen dismissed his critics and told them to “suck an egg” after securing pole position for the Japanese Grand Prix. Following a disappointing outing in Singapore, where Red Bull struggled and finished outside the top ten, questions arose about the team’s performance and the impact of technical directives. However, Verstappen used a new spec floor to great effect in Suzuka and dominated the weekend, topping every session except Q2. He emphasized that his pole position was a statement of intent and a response to those doubting the team’s abilities. Red Bull can secure the Constructors’ Championship at Suzuka by out-scoring Mercedes by only one point, while Verstappen will have to wait until Qatar to seal his third World Championship.
