Max Verstappen has said Red Bull were managing their pace over tyre life concerns in Australia, as it was “not necessary” to risk the hard tyres wearing out on Sunday.
Verstappen had sailed past Lewis Hamilton and into the lead of the race by lap 12 and opened up a 10-second gap at the front, with a minor off at the penultimate corner being the only blip in his afternoon for the remainder of the race.that, even though Red Bull have a clear pace advantage over the rest of the field, they were deliberately holding back from their full potential in case the sport looks at curbing their dominance in future.
“I mean, I think anyway, there’s nothing really they can do,” Verstappen said to the BBC’s Chequered Flag podcast when asked if he’s holding pace back so the sport’s top brass do not put rules in place to hinder Red Bull’s progression.
