  • Kemenangan yang diraih Max Verstappen pada F1 GP AS, Senin (25/10/2021) dini hari WIB, sangat penting untuknya.
  • Hal ini karena Sirkuit Austin (COTA) biasanya dikuasai oleh Mercedes.
  • Max Verstappen berpeluang untuk terus menjauh dari kejaran Lewis Hamilton karena balapan berikutnya berlangsung di Meksiko.

SKOR.id - Kemenangan pembalap Red Bull Racing, Max Verstappen, pada F1 GP Amerika Serikat (AS), Senin (25/10/2021) dini hari WIB jadi sangat penting. 

Bukan hanya terkait upayanya dalam menjaga peluang juara dunia Formula 1 (F1) 2021, melainkan pembuktian bagi Red Bull. 

Pasalnya, Sirkuit Austin (COTA) merupakan "kandang" Mercedes karena sejak 2014-2019, Mercedes lima kali menang di sana.

Tercatat hanya sekali Mercedes gagal menang di Austin, yakni pada 2018. Kala itu, podium pertama jadi milik Kimi Raikkonen (Ferrari).

Lewis Hamilton yang kali ini start dari urutan kedua, sudah enam kali menang di lintasan bernama resmi Circuit of The Americas (COTA) tersebut.

Empat kemenangan diraihnya saat membela Mercedes, sedangkan dua lainnya bersama McLaren yang kala itu juga memakai mesin Mercedes.

Di sisi lain, Red Bull Racing baru sekali menang di Austin. Satu-satunya pembalap yang mampu finis pertama di COTA adalah Sebastian Vettel, 2013 lalu.

Dengan kata lain, Red Bull tidak hadir sebagai favorit di COTA. Namun, musim ini, Max Verstappen tampil sebagai pembeda.

Start sebagai pole positions di F1 GP AS 2021, pembalap asal Belanda itu mampu mencuri kemenangan sekaligus memperlebar keunggulan dari sang rival.

Sebagai informasi, Max Verstappen untuk sementara memimpin klasemen pembalap F1 2021 dengan koleksi 287,5 poin. Lewis Hamilton ada di urutan kedua. 

"Di akhir balapan, ban saya habis dan itu menjadi situasi yang tidak mudah. Jadi, kemenangan ini merupakan bonus besar karena prosesnya cukup sulit," ucapnya.

Saat ini, Max Verstappen berjarak 12 poin dari Lewis Hamilton yang setia menguntitnya di posisi kedua klasemen pembalap.

Mengingat F1 2021 yang masih menyisakan lima seri balapan, selisih poin tersebut masih sangat mungkin untuk dikejar. Dengan kata lain, persaingan masih terbuka. 

Adapun putaran ke-18 F1 2021 akan berlangsung di negara tetangga AS, Meksiko, tepatnya pada 7 November 2021. 

Max Verstappen berpeluang besar untuk kembali memperlebar jarak dengan Lewis Hamilton karena Sirkuit Hermanos Rodriguez cocok dengan karakter Red Bull.

Sejauh ini, Max Verstappen sudah dua kali menang di Meksiko, yakni pada 2017 dan 2018. Ini juga menjadi balapan kandang untuk rekan setimnya, Sergio Perez.
