Mercedes boss Toto Wolff criticized Red Bull for showing “complete lack of judgment”, which caused a dangerous pit lane collision between Kimi Antonelli and Max Verstappen during the Miami Grand Prix Sprint.

Verstappen and Antonelli, at the end of the 12th lap, respectively, at the third and fourth laps, respectively, their intermediate tires switched the intermediate tires to smooth on the drying circuit.

With Verstappen on Antonelli’s track for a few seconds, IATTER is approaching his Mercedes Pit Box, which is directly in front of Red Bull, as the former’s dock is about to end.

When Antonelli turned into his stop, Red Bull released Verstappen, causing a brief contact of the car, and then Antonelli showed excellent reaction and judgment to turn it to the repair station and avoid collisions with the repair station he was waiting for.

Verstappen, who was not at fault in the incident, was punished for 10 seconds, which took him out of the scoring position, while Antonelli had to attack again later and finish the game outside the scoring.

Red Bulls Principal Christian Horner admits Sky Sports F1 After the game, the unsafe release was the result of a “human error”, but Wolf was very upset.

He told Sky Sports F1.

“I was surprised by the total lack of judgment because it couldn’t be released without even any security issues.

“Someone panicked.”

Verstappen: We need to investigate errors

The incident is the latest in a series of Red Bull pit errors early in the season, with Verstappen releasing system problems in Bahrain, hindering by Japan’s slow stay.

For Red Bull, the pit-pit struggle is extremely distinct, and they have long been considered the best in the department, winning the fastest pit-pit-pit-stop award in the past seven years.

Verstappen said the incidents were irrelevant, but the latest errors needed to be investigated.

Verstappen told Sky Sports F1. “You can’t compare these things.

“All of us want this to happen, but it’s happening. It’s something we need to investigate, but I’m glad no one was injured. If you hit someone, that car, it’s not great.

“It’s very clear what’s going on, so I don’t have more to add.”

The incident happened after the departure of former athletic director Jonathan Wheatley’s Red Bull, who had been overseeing their pit stop operations before leaving to become headmaster of Sauber’s team.

Former World Champion and Sky Sports F1 Pundit Jenson Button believes that the Red Bull is “too long” to fit Wheatley’s exports.

“It’s a high pressure situation. You can practice everything you want, but it’s too much pressure to stop the field pit. If you lose two to two-thirds, you may lose your victory. They all have a huge pressure.

“Jonathan Wheatley is always there. He just works on his own, and every game is exactly the same. For someone trying to fill the shoes, it’s like filling the driver’s shoes in a new team, it takes time to get used to, but it takes too long.”
