Max Verstappen is not happy that Red Bull Racing is interfering with his private time.
Last weekend Verstappen did not go to bed on time. Was this the reason that things did not go well during the Grand Prix? A hard conclusion, since the team also made mistakes with the strategy. Max Verstappen is fed up with the fact that this whole week it has been about his bedtime.
Last weekend, the Dutchman was active for his Team Redline in the virtual 24 hours of Spa. Until 03:00 in the night from Saturday to Sunday, the Dutchman was racing virtually, while later that day the Grand Prix of Hungary was on the program. In the real world. Max received criticism about this from various angles from various camps.
But Max Verstappen is done with people interfering in his private time. This is reported by the Telegraaf. In a response, the Dutchman says that he does not have to tell how the rest of Red Bull Racing spends their private time. There was a conversation about the deliberate sim race that lasted until the late hours.
The driver says he has not been banned from being active so late. So no curfew for the top driver. He did tell the team that there is no sim race planned for the time being, so they don’t have to worry about that at Red Bull Racing. Fortunately, that is the only ‘game’ Max was busy with, the 26-year-old is not going to sit around Minecrafting until late at night. Although..
Verstappen looks back on Imola, when he also took part in a sim race. The Grand Prix was won by Max and afterwards nobody talked about his participation in the virtual race. The fact that things are not going well this time does not have to be related to the virtual race last weekend. Verstappen had still had seven hours of sleep then.
and now
snuggle up to your warm nests, and remember:
eyes closed and beaks closed
Sleep well

If he performed instead of acting like a little kid no one would be talking about it
-
Richmond say
He also performs. All other times he just won. And then the press was talking about it too. He just loses sleep. It’s not like there’s a causal connection. Picking nails at low tide. They’re doing this now purely to not give the press fodder for stupid questions.

Smoking Wheels say
What other stupid questions would the press have asked?
-
Richmond say
About whether the Sim racing affected his performance, whether he was too tired etc.

That’s what happens when you let those kids fill themselves up on Red Bull. They can’t sleep at night.

The little guy is starting to get splotches….
Of course, Red Bull is allowed to interfere somewhat in Max’s private life.
To perform for the team, you need a proper balance in your private life. You have to take that into account and you are obliged to your team.-
Richmond say
But he also performs. He has been doing Sim racing all year in combination with Grand Prix weekend and every time he has still won..not this race, but that has nothing to do with his hobby. So his private work balance has nothing to do with it

No Max, you are public property. We decide what you can and cannot do and say.

Oh. I don’t think there’s really a relationship between going to bed late and performance on the track. I think Verstappen’s workday starts at 12 o’clock. So he’s had plenty of sleep.
On the other hand, he is screaming about the commitment of “some” in the team. Then I would first show that I myself have that 110% focus before I would open my big crack.
