Red Bull touched down in Abu Dhabi determined to move on from a major spat between its two Formula 1 drivers. In a statement, the dominant 2022 team insisted it had “not agreed a strategy” prior to the race that involved Max Verstappen moving over for Sergio Perez. The team says the matter has now been discussed and cleared up and “no further comment will be made”. “As I said before, I’m not going into details,” Verstappen insists. “I won’t comment if he did it on purpose or not,” said the Spaniard. Perez also insisted that he is ready to move on from the supposed conflict with Verstappen. “We are the same team we used to be – united and strong,” Perez added.
