"The nervousness is increasing, but not only at Red Bull"

Max Verstappen leads the F1 championship again. The battle for the title in 2021 is very exciting. Red Bull Racing and Verstappen were a lot stronger than Mercedes, but the German team seems to get stronger as the team progresses. Kees van der Grint nuances this picture.

The championship has still six races to go it's about two teams and two drivers. Verstappen for Red Bull Racing and Lewis Hamilton for Mercedes.

On the RTL podcast Slipstream Kees van der Grint discusses with Allard Kalff that both drivers know that they are dependent on the equipment and say that the world will not end if they do not become world champions.

"At both teams there is ambiguity and uncertainty," Van der Grint begins. "The chassis lead at Red Bull that they seemed to have seems to have been reversed. On the other hand, Mercedes are now suddenly having engine problems, where they have discovered hairline cracks in brand new power sources."

"So the nervousness is increasing, but not only at Red Bull.”
