Following a setback at Monaco, - Red Bull's Van der Vorst lambasts team in fresh tirade

The return of bold statements is in full swing!

The absence of Schumacher's former teammate during previous races caused a significant reduction in the noise at Red Bull.

Now, he's causing a commotion again, criticizing the team following their unsatisfactory 6th place at Monaco.

He remarked, "It appears that the era when Red Bull had a dominant car is behind us."

He might have a point - given that Red Bull is currently leading the constructors' championship by just 24 points over Ferrari. Leclerc's win and Sainz's third place have narrowed the gap.

Jos may have a solution: "Perhaps they should prioritize career and mutual communication instead of other things."

Gossip!

It's unclear what exactly Jos means by that. Could he be implying that the internal power struggle between Dr. Helmut Marko and Christian Horner isn't over yet? Although a truce has been declared publicly since the intense start of the season, this conflict is still rumored.

Jos hasn't given up on his son's team entirely, however. "There will certainly be races where Red Bull bounces back to its usual form, but they seem to have more issues than in the past few years. I'm interested in observing how they'll address these challenges."

According to Jos, "Red Bull has to identify the specific areas where their problems lie as teams like Ferrari and McLaren are getting closer. Verstappen is still maintaining his issues hidden, but Perez's plight is clear - the disparity between the two is striking."

Whilst Verstappen could only manage a 6th-place finish, Perez crashed out in the first round. Due to qualifying 18th, he started nearly from the back and engaged in a duel with Haas driver Kevin Magnussen - resulting in a fierce collision. Consequently, Perez failed to score any points.
