Max Verstappen has fully entered the books of History of F1. The pilot of Red Bull has in his possession neither more nor less than four titles Formula 1 World Championships, a figure that puts him on par with legends like Alain Prost or Sebastian Vettel.
Anyway, Verstappen He had a little more season. “MadMax” not only dominated the driver rankings, he also became the Red Bull lifebuoy. The poor performance of the car and his teammate ‘Checo’ Pérez would have relegated the team to lowest positions of the championship, but Verstappen prevented it.
In the Austrian house they know it and that’s why Helmut Marko couldn’t help but indulge in Max’s spectacular season: “I know him since he has 14 years old. “I told my boss – Dietrich Mateschitz – when we signed him and put him in a Formula 1 car at 15.”
“He is exceptional, he has great talent. We took risks, yes… but I knew it was going to be quick. What he gave us was great. He is 27 years old, but It’s already one of the biggest. It’s hard to compare, but he’s one of the best drivers. He’s a perfect driver” Marko admitted to the microphones of ‘DAZN’.
