Verstappen ellendrukkere Rosberg-átkot szórna a hollandra
Max Verstappen, who is aiming for his 11th consecutive victory in Singapore, a track where he has never won before. Given Red Bull’s incredible technical advantage and Dutch dominance, this should easily be achievable. Perhaps Nico Rosberg could be the only obstacle for Verstappen, as it has become rumored that the 2016 world champion brings bad luck to teams and drivers who take selfies in front of their garage. As we know, Rosberg took a photo with Leclerc’s Ferrari in 2021, and the Monegasque was unable to start the race the next day. There have been similar incidents this year as well, such as when Rosberg took pictures in front of the Red Bull garage in Hungary, and to everyone’s surprise, Verstappen secured second place in qualifying. Last Saturday, he also caught Mercedes on one of his photos, resulting in Hamilton’s bad start. In Italy, Carlos Sainz fell victim to Rosberg’s selfie, who, despite starting from pole, had to settle for third place in the race. In the Sky Sports F1 podcast, an F1 fan sent a message to Rosberg humorously asking if he would take a selfie with Verstappen before the race, to which the retired driver responded: „Oh, yes, that cursed thing… I tried to find a neutral background last weekend. I thought I wouldn’t want to cause any problems here.” „It would certainly be a bit harsh if I took a photo near Max before the race. That wouldn’t be cool. But I’ll still do it!” – added Rosberg jokingly. Meanwhile, Ferrari stated that there is no need to sound the alarm if they experience another slight decline in performance in Singapore, which requires more downforce. According to an F1 expert, DRS is like a drug that doesn’t help.
