Verstappen, who is known for being able to cope with a nervous rear end, says that Red Bull has never deliberately engineered cars in his direction. Instead, he has learned to adapt to what he is given. Speaking in Bahrain, he said, “As a driver, you need to adapt to what you get, and that’s also what I did when I joined Red Bull.”
Perez, on the other hand, says that his issue is not preferring an understeery car; rather, Verstappen is better able to cope with a nervous rear end. “At the end of the day, we both want a good front end. It’s just a question of how stable the rear end can be. And certainly Max has been able to cope with a looser rear end,” he said.
