“Valtteri, It’s Max”: Red Bull Racing Makes Fun of Mercedes and Bottas

Valtteri-Bottas-and-Max-Verstappen

All race fans would be aware that both Valtteri Bottas and Max Verstappen started the Russian Grand Prix at the back of the grid for changing their engine before the race at Sochi. Bottas was at sixteenth, while his ocunterpart Verstappen was at the last spot. Soon enough the Finn driver had the Dutchman in his mirrors when the former started to start his upwards trajectory. 

It’s the sixth lap of the race when Max Verstappen successfully overtakes Bottas for the fourteenth spot. However, the Finn didn’t seem to be putting much effort into keeping Verstappen behind him. With a video of the overtake in question, Red Bull Racing is now making a bit of a fool of Mercedes.

“Valtteri, it’s Max”, reads the caption, referring to the now infamous on-board radio’s “Valtteri, it’s James”, when the Finn has to let his teammate Lewis Hamilton past once again.

Apart from this, Verstappen proved to even go onto register himself on the podium. Meanwhile Valtteri Bottas was able to register points against his name as well. After Lando Norris’ slip up in the dying stages, Verstappen surely made that count as he overtook the rest of his companions on a wet surface.
