Toto Wolff recently suggested that the other teams look like F2 cars in front of Max Verstappen and Red Bull after the Hungarian GP. Looks like a recent comment by Red Bull’s Taskmaster is going to turn Lewis Hamilton and Co’s worst nightmare into a reality. But what did the taskmaster say and how is Lewis Hamilton and Co’s nightmare turning into a reality?

Max Verstappen has been the class of the field this season. With 9 wins out of the 11 races so far in his pocket, Max Verstappen is running away with the championship. Lewis Hamilton and Co. on the other hand are still competing with the likes of Ferrari, Aston Martin, and McLaren to come out as the best of the rest. Failing to catch up with Max Verstappen, the Red Bull taskmaster triggers Mercedes’ greatest nightmare. 

The 25-year-old championship leader has been finishing the braces a postcode ahead of the field with his rocketship of an RB19. To top it off, Red Bull brought a new upgrade package to Hungary which is said to increase the pace of the RB19 by two-tenths. Amid all this, Helmut Marko revealed that Max Verstappen could’ve gone even faster at the Hungarian GP race. According to @Motorsportcomtr’s Tweet, Helmut Marko said: “Max actually could have driven even faster, his pace wasn’t in the limit.”

Max Verstappen finished 33+ seconds ahead of Lando Norris in P2. It’s scary to imagine that Verstappen could’ve gone faster in a car that supposedly didn’t have the best balance for the weekend. 

Max Verstappen complained about RB19’s balance on one lap pace even after the race

During the post-race interview with Nico Rosberg, the former world champion asked the current championship leader about all the complaints that Verstappen had regarding the balance of the car. The Dutchman explained that the one-lap balance wasn’t to his liking and that he could’ve been a little better at looking after the tires.

According to FIA.com, Max Verstappen said “Yeah, I think over one lap this weekend it was a bit of a struggle but maybe it was probably a good thing for today. So yeah, the car was good on any tire. We could look after the tire wear and basically, that’s why we could create such a big gap.”

What do you make of Max Verstappen’s dominance?
