Former Haas team principal Guenther Steiner believes the saga over Red Bull’s second seat “says how good” Max Verstappen is.
Earlier this month, Jack Plooij said on Ziggo Sport’s Racecafé that Max Verstappen signed a contract with Mercedes. This rumour was then firmly denied by Jos Verstappen, the father of the four-time world champion. Günther Steiner states in the Red Flags Podcast that he does not think Plooij would base such a statement on nothing, but does not seem to be convinced by the rumour going around.
Former Haas team principal Guenther Steiner was not surprised by the crowd’s reaction to Red Bull Racing at the F1 75 event.
