Monza has always been a difficult place for drivers to overtake even in the past. And similarly, it is turning out to be the same way even in 2021. However, Max Verstappen was furious when other drivers kept coming in his way while he wanted to record his fastest lap on Day 2. In addition, he was even evident in complaining about the same on his team radio. 

This resulted in Robert Doornbos and Tim Coronel having some of their views upon the same during the broadcast of Formula 1 Café as the pair decided to talk upon Max Verstappen. To those who are unaware, drivers actually have to rely on their teams to let them know where the drivers are on the track, as they can’t see it for themselves in the mirrors, especially at Monza the difficulty increases.

“It’s a dangerous circuit. It’s 5.7 kilometres, of which just seventy per cent is full throttle. Max arrived at three hundred at that second chicane. Ocon, Alonso, they were driving maybe eighty there, Robert Doornbos said as quoted by GPBlogs

According to Tom Coronel, this problem will always remain at Monza. “You will always have that. Everyone wants to have the ideal slipstream, so they are just waiting. They just wait until the first one goes and only then do they go themselves.”

Esteban Ocon and Fernando Alonso drove on Verstappen’s racing line, which is just not possible according to Doornbos. “That is of course being on the racing line. When you have such a quiet outlap you have to drive on the inside.” Tim Coronel counters: “They just didn’t know he was coming, otherwise you go sideways anyway.”
