Verstappen decided not to follow team orders at the 2022 Sao Paulo Grand Prix to aid Sergio Perez’s fight against 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc for second in the championship.

After the race, Verstappen hinted that he was irked by Perez’s actions in qualifying at Monaco earlier in the year hence his decision to not🍷 help his teammate.

After watching Perez’s Monaco onboard footage in Q3, it seemed that the Mexican crashed deli🔯berately to bring out the🍎 red flag to ensure he out-qualified his teammate.

Perez would ultimately go on to win the race ahead of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz and Verstappen.

Speaking on the Sky Sports F1 podcast, Kravitz didn’t tip Verstappen for the victory this weekend, although expects that he will “want” to win bec🌼ause of the “disappointment of last year.

“I am going with 33, I am going with the 33rd win for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso,” Kravitz said. “I am going to get onboard with that hype train. I know he’s invested a lot int𝕴o it. It’s a bit of a draggy car but it’s got great tyre performance and he’s such a clever guy who knows how ꧃to win around Monaco. 

“I know Max does, I know Lewis does. I ౠjust think it’s the result that he’s a🍰fter and I think it would be a result maybe F1 needs.

Simon Lazenby added: “It’s all been smiles between the Red Bull pairing considering how it ended last year. Let’s not forget how it star🦩ted - it started at Monac🌼o with Perez’s little park.”

Kravitz concluded: “Well that’s the other reason why Verstappen wಌants to wꦦin and why I am completely wrong about Alonso winning Monaco. Verstappen will want to win Monaco because of that, because of the disappointment of last year.”
