Damon Hill reckons Red Bull have given Max Verstappen a helping hand of late... F1
Following the Mexican’s win in Monaco, there were suggestions that the RB18 was more suited to his style than Verstappen’s but that now seems to have flipped entirely with the reigning World Champion showing the kind of pace that won him his maiden championship.
“Max has found something because he dominated that weekend [in Canada] and with no sign of Sergio looking to be threatening,” Hill said on the F1 Nation podcast.“I get the feeling they’ve done something to help him because he’s not the sort of person who would have taken being out-qualified by Sergio lying down. So I think that they’ve tried to work on giving him what he really needs.
Looking ahead to Silverstone, Hill poured cold water on the emerging theory that Mercedes could be back amongst the frontrunners, stating that they were “going to have to be really competitive to beat the Ferraris and the Red Bulls.” “And I always thought Silverstone was one of the bumpiest places. I mean it’s got jumps, it’s got a really heavy bounce so when you go through Becketts, a car is really moving up and down.
