Red Bull Make a Bold Declaration After Podium

Earlier today, Red Bull driver Max Verstappen sealed third during Australian GP 2019. He ended up behind the Mercedes duo of Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton respectively. The Dutch driver also split the Mercedes duo from the Ferrari pair of Sebastian Vettel and Charles LeClerc.

Meanwhile, teammate Pierre Gasly ended up 11th fastest on the track, from 17th on the grid. Even though the Frenchman was far down the order compared to Max, the team lauded his fight back up the field.

Later on Twitter, the team could not resist throwing a cheeky jab at former McLaren driver Fernando Alonso. Last year, he finished 5th for the British outfit in their first season with Renault power. As he crossed the finish line, He crowed out on the radio “Now we can fight!”

Now, Red Bull have alluded to Alonso’s statement with a declaration of their own after Max Verstappen’s podium. Interestingly, this was Honda’s first visit to the podium since their return to F1 and the start of the V6 Hybrid era.
