Charles Leclerc tried his absolute best to catch up with the Red Bull but failed to do so during the first half of the race. However, the safety car was deployed on lap 40 after Norris made contact with Pierre Gasly, which allowed Charles to try another lunge on the Red Bull.
They came as close as 0.2 seconds, but in the end, Red Bull’s amazing speed proved to be the game-changer. As soon as Max emerged victoriously, social media was filled with reactions. However, one Tweet in particular which was posted by Formula 1’s official account did not go down well with many of the fans.
“There’s a new quarterback in town!,” read the caption of the post that contained an image of Max Verstappen. Several F1 fans pointed out that there is no need to Americanise the sport. Here are some of the reactions.
