At the conclusion of Q3 in qualifying for the Dutch Grand Prix, Verstappen secured pole position for his home race, while Perez found himself starting from P7 after qualifying a significant 1.3 seconds behind his teammate.
Wolff expressed his astonishment at the gap between the two teammates, particularly considering that Perez is a multiple-time grand prix winner with a successful racing history. He described the gap as “odd” and “bizarre,” emphasizing that Perez is an accomplished driver and not someone who lacks skill or experience.
