Jacques Villeneuve afferma che la Red Bull ha perso il suo smalto

L'ex campione del mondo di Formula 1 Jacques Villeneuve ha avvertito che la Red Bull si trova ad affrontare una difficile ricostruzione dopo aver perso figure chiave e il suo vantaggio competitivo.

Villeneuve ha parlato al programma Sky Sports F1 dopo il Gran Premio di Barcellona-Catalunya. Ha dichiarato che la scuderia ha "perso il suo smalto" e l'ha descritta come un "luogo molto politico" segnato da conflitti interni.

Il pilota canadese ha osservato che la Red Bull si è separata da figure come Christian Horner, Jonathan Wheatley, Helmut Marko e Adrian Newey. Ha aggiunto che Max Verstappen rimane l'elemento di spicco insieme al motore della squadra.

La Red Bull si trova attualmente al quarto posto nella classifica costruttori. Villeneuve ha affermato che il team deve risolvere i propri problemi di leadership prima che qualsiasi ripresa possa avere inizio.
