Will the Red Bull v/s Mercedes dogfight ever end? We have gotten through the first half of 2023 and summer break is going on. Even during what is supposed to be a relaxing period, the drama goes on. Lewis Hamilton‘s comments on RB’s mighty DRS always make for some good news. But after he tried to turn the media against Max Verstappen and Co., an F1 expert has lashed out at him.

It is an established thing that the 7-time champion is no match for Verstappen and his rocket ship of an RB19. And when the DRS opens, the Dutchman glides through the straights. Hamilton had complained about the baffling contribution of their DRS at the beginning of the season, in the media. Again, at the Hungarian GP, he passed a comment but this time, it was the opposite and possibly, some reverse psychology. He said that RB’s DRS didn’t look as quick compared to the start of 2023. For using such cunning tactics against Red Bull, Sky Sports presenter Ted Kravitz has exposed Hamilton.

“I know Hamilton is trying to encourage the media to ask questions about why, in his opinion, Red Bull is not as fast as before,” said Kravitz, as quoted by f1maximaal. “According to Hamilton, Red Bull is no longer getting the same advantage from the DRS as during the rest of the season. I don’t know if it’s correct, but Lewis (Hamilton, ed.) is bringing this out to urge the media to investigate.’

Hamilton is not just under fire for this. The Milton-Keynes outfit has even started mocking him and other rivals for their poor development.

Red Bull has been miles ahead of everybody in 2023. No other team has even come close to matching Max Verstappen‘s lap times in the RB19. But RB’s Technical Director, Pierre Wache, has called their car “average good” and in doing so, he has highlighted their rivals’ underperformance.

“It is average good for everything, which is creating a good car,” Wache told Motorsport.com. “It’s not very good in one aspect. Why we think it is good because we are quicker than others, but fundamentally I would say we didn’t do a fantastic job. We did a good job.”
