Jacques Villeneuve believes “something has changed” with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen who he claims is “not even feisty” as he continues to see his F1 championship lead shrink.

The Red Bull driver endured a tough race in Baku as he battled an ill-handling car on his way to finishing fifth. Verstappen was promoted two places thanks to a la🌄te crash involving teammate Sergio 💫Perez and Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz.

Verstappen’s championship rival, Lando Norris, who had started 15th after a shock𒅌 Q1 exit, overtook the Dutchman as he took fourt🎉h.

The result cut Verstappen’s championship lead down to 59 points and marked t♐he third consecutive race that his advantage in the title race has been reduced by Norris.

And 1997 F1 world champion Villeneuvꦬe has questioned Verstappen amid his recent struggles.

"Max for the last few races sounds down𒈔beat. He's not even feisty in the race and doesn't fight that hard,” Villeneuve said during a guest appearance on Sky Sports F1.

"Even on the radio, w🐲e barely hear him. Something has 😼changed. It's as if he knows he hasn't won [for a while], he knows it [the car] is not driving like he wants.

"Now his team-mate was a lot quicker 🌠than him. That's⛎ a very strange situation.”

The three-time world champion was left rueing set-up changes going into qualifying which made his R🍨B20 “worse”.

“I thin🅰k we just paid the price with the changes that we made into qualifying. That just made it really difficult to drive,” Versta🍒ppen told media including mahbx.com.

“The car was jumping around a lot, the wheels were coming off the ground in the corners. When you don’t have a cont💫act patch with the tarmac, it’s very difficult.

“You try to make changes alw𓄧ays to make the 🐻car better but unfortunately what we did made it worse.

"The overall behaviour is be𝔍tter [with the new floor]. Unfortunately we ju💮st made some wrong decisions going into qualifying and we paid the price for it.”
