Christijan Albers He has formally joined Checo Pérez’s list of critics in Formula 1, since he already threw darts against the Mexican in 2022 and repeat now with a series of controversial statements that include the followers of the Red Bull midfielder, who this season competes for the title in a one-on-one with Max Verstappen.
Who is Christijan Albers?
He is a Dutch ex-driver who raced in Formula 1 for three seasons, between 2005 and 2007, in which started 46 races, and in none managed to score points. . . . During that period he ran for the Minardi (today AlphaTaurti) Midland and Spyker (today Aston Martin) squadrons.
At the moment is part of a podcast within the Dutch medium The Telegraph in which he thinks, analyzes and comments on Formula 1, and in one of his last interventions he launched himself against Checo, while extolling Max Verstappen, his countryman.
What did he say about Checo Pérez?
The Dutch expilot referred to the fact that Checo has become a phenomenon within Formula 1, which has grown a lot in Mexico, so that Checo fans react strongly, according to him, when the man from Guadalajara receives some criticism.
“Checo is creating ‘hype’. If you write anything about him that’s not good, all those Mexicans will come at you with death threats. and more”, Indian.
Mexico has a respectable motorsport culture and within it, Checo has established himself as the best driver of all time, for which he has won many fans within our country and also abroad, and just as we celebrate their triumphs here, in the Netherlands they do the same with Verstappen.
Who says that Verstappen is better than Checo in street circuits
In that sense, Christijan Albers is one of many Dutch people who are full of praise for his compatriot by assuring that he is better than Checo in aspects such as tire care, in addition to indicating that he is not as good in street circuits.
“That’s really a nonsense story (May Checo manage the tires better). Verstappen has had that better under control for several seasons.he drove longer in Australia and set faster lap times.”
“The second thing that bothers me is that he is supposedly the god of street circuitsbut the last time he’s been in Melbourne, which I think is more like a street circuit, we still saw the wide gap between Verstappen and Pérez”, said.
It is not the first time in this 2023 that the Dutch media has thrown Checo at it, because before the season started it was said that Nyck de Vries, also a Dutch driver, had everything to replace Checo at once in the following season… and well, in his first three races he has not scored points with AlphaTauri.
