Red Bull F1 Head of Strategy Hannah Schmitz

The Dutch GP had its fair share of drama attached to it. Max Verstappen didn’t have to worry about strategy as he had Hannah Schmitz behind him who ensured that the reigning world champion won’t have any issues from her side.

Both Mercedes drivers Lewis Hamilton and George Russell had the pace to win the Grand Prix. Although a bunch of wrong strategy calls and an unexpected VSC meant that all their hopes of winning the race went down the drain.

Yuki Tsunoda and Alpha Tauri who are also Red Bull’s sister team had a big part in solidifying any chances of Max winning the race as they played right into Hannah Schmitz’s strategy for the Dutch driver. Tsunoda stopped his car on lap 43 of the race after coming to a stop twice in a row on two consecutive laps. He suspected that the front left tyre on his car was loose and followed protocol.

Later he was told to continue and come to the pits which he did. Although right after his stop, he was told to park the car on the side as the problem was still there. This effectively brought out a VSC and ruined Lewis Hamilton’s strategy. Without the VSC, Max would have stopped and come out 8 seconds behind Lewis with 20 laps remaining but alas the luck just wasn’t with him on Sunday.

Fans started to initiate conspiracy theories about the incident and thought that Red Bull’s head of strategy Hannah Schmitz was to blame for purposely making Yuki Tsunoda bring out a VSC to aid in Verstappen’s victory. Some fans even tweeted derogatory comments towards her on twitter to which many fans stood in support of the woman behind Red Bull’s world ass strategies. Even Lewis Hamilton came into the scene and supported Hannah.
