Alfa-Sauber in Las Vegas all in black: Verstappen: “We are just the clowns!”

The 20 pilots are paraded like puppets in the players’ paradise at night by the organizers. Verstappen continued: “We are just clowns here. I really can’t do anything with that!”

Stressful season finale

The 52-time GP winner (he could overtake Vettel in Vegas) is simply annoyed: “I have never looked forward to a Grand Prix so little in my career!” Well, it starts on Friday at 5.30am CET (TV live Sky).

And then Verstappen sees the next problem. “We fly directly from here to Abu Dhabi. That’s a time difference of twelve hours, so a completely different time zone. It should be more comfortable at the end of a season.” That’s right, even for the already stressed technicians. Which of course the Americans are not interested in.

Route in progress – expensive coke

This shouldn’t be the place for more criticism. But on Tuesday evening the route was not yet finished! Verstappen: “And driving on the Strip is not that exciting either.” The low temperatures during the witching hour during training should also be mentioned.

Furthermore, the media center is almost a 20-minute walk from the paddock. The internet has seen better days. And up to $20 for a can of coke is nice too.

Black as the symbolic color of Hinwil?

On the 6.2 kilometer long route, which reminds many participants of Baku, Monza and Singapore, almost all drivers compete in ‘different’ cars. The new paint job is a reflexive gesture for the quirky organizer.

Alfa-Sauber, ninth in the World Championship, also takes part in its penultimate appearance under this banner. A black car with gold neon letters must lead the Hinwil team out of the crisis during the 21st World Cup round. Black as a symbolic color for the mixed season of Bottas (10 points) and Zhou (6).
