Juan Pablo Montoya compares the approach of Red Bull Racing in managing their drivers with that of Mercedes. Montoya observed that while Mercedes supported both their drivers during Hamilton’s dominance, Red Bull focuses solely on Max Verstappen. Montoya likened this to Hamilton consistently winning races despite having a talented teammate. He explained that Mercedes made sure both drivers had a fair chance to compete, whereas Red Bull takes a different approach.
According to Montoya, Red Bull’s strategy promotes harmony within the team by acknowledging that only one driver has the opportunity to win. However, from a fan’s perspective, they may prefer Mercedes’ approach. Montoya pointed out that Mercedes did not favor one car over the other, as demonstrated by Rosberg winning the world championship alongside Hamilton. He emphasized that racing performance is influenced by the challenges and changes each season brings, and it is important for fans to witness an exciting competition.
In summary, Montoya believes that Red Bull’s current situation is not ideal, and they may be concealing it from the public. He suggests that Red Bull should prioritize both drivers to ensure intense competition with other teams. Ultimately, fans would love to see both drivers performing at their best by the end of the season.
