“More Options to F*ck Up”: Max Verstappen Ruthlessly Trolls Ferrari While Calling Out Their Biggest Weakness

Everybody makes mistakes, but the ones who learn from them are the ones who come out on top. Ferrari made multiple mistakes during the 2022 season and didn’t seem to learn from them.

Questions were already raised regarding the culture at Ferrari and their unwillingness to accept mistakes. The 25-year-old has further added more fuel to that fire.

Charles Leclerc and Ferrari were leading the 2022 championship at the beginning of the year and had a decent chance of winning it. However, multiple retirements caused by reliability problems, strategy mess up and grid penalties led to Max Verstappen running away with the championship. Ferrari double-stacking Leclerc behind Sainz in the pits at Monaco and The Ferrari’s starting on hard tires in the cooler conditions in Hungary are some of the most notable mess-ups. As a result, Mattia Binotto was sacked, and Frederic Vasseur was signed as the new Team Principal.

The situation became so bad that after a point, people speculated and waited for Ferrari to mess up if things were going smoothly. Max Verstappen was one of those who speculated on the Scuderia messing up. In a video that recently surfaced on Twitter, Max Verstappen is seen in a car talking about the Brazilian GP. The Dutchman talks about Friday and Saturday sessions being wet as the rain was forecasted when someone suggests its better if it’s wet. The 25-year-old replies that there will be more chaos if it rains, but Ferrari will have greater chances of messing up if it’s dry.

According to the video posted on Twitter Max Verstappen said, “Rain on Friday and Saturday.” then Jack asked, “Better if it’s in the wet.” Max Verstappen took a jab at Ferrari and said, “More chaos. But in the dry, Ferrari has more options to f**k up the strategies.”

The Ferrari struggle did not just end last year though, as they have carried the bad luck into this season as well. Ferrari is sitting P4 in the standing with only 26 points to their name. Both the Ferraris finished outside the points at the Australian GP. Charles Leclerc binned his SF23 into the gravel outside of turn 3  on Lap 1, whereas Carlos Sainz finished outside the points due to a late penalty.

What does Carlos Sainz make of the Penalty awarded to him? 

At the restart on Lap 57 of the Australian GP, Carlos Sainz out-braked himself and sent Fernando Alonso spinning. As a result, FIA handed him a five-second penalty. However, Carlos Sainz thought the penalty was unfair as incidents happen on restarts as everybody is figuring their way out of trouble. The Spaniard deemed the collision to be a racing incident and was almost heard crying and pleading on his tea, radio after the penalty was awarded.

According to SkySports.com, Carlos Sainz said “I prefer not to talk right now, Honestly, I am too disappointed and I am going to say bad things. It is the most unfair penalty I have seen in my life.
