Many people have noticed this in recent races. Max Verstappen has a special tactic at the restart after a safety car. The Dutchman does not stay behind the leader of the race, but puts his car as much as possible next to him. This tactic is now the subject of a comical video.

Persiflage Verstappen and Leclerc

In Abu Dhabi, Verstappen's tactics were already noticed when he positioned his car next to Lewis Hamilton 's on the last lap to give his British rival for the world title as little advantage as possible on the restart. In Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, we saw Verstappen do the same to Leclerc.

Although Verstappen's actions are not against the rules, the Red Bull Racing driver does operate in a grey area according to Jolyon Palmer. The former Formula 1 driver already called it an interesting tactic of the Dutchman. This 'safety car tactic' is now the subject in a new persiflage video by LollipopMan.
