After becoming Formula 1 champion for the fourth consecutive time, Max Verstappen He shook his rivals by claiming he would have also won the title driving the McLaren and Ferrari. AND Lando Norris the one who was his rival this year, answered him.
In the preview of Qatar Grand PrixLando said Max should focus on comedy: “I should start doing comedy or something.”. You can say whatever you want, but of course I completely disagree. That’s good, but it’s not true.”
Of course, after the hesitation, he gave her a lot of praise. Because Max, with a Czech Pérez in an increasingly insignificant team, he has to do everything alone: ”He has to do all the work himself. I take my hat off to him. He has no one who puts pressure on him, he has no one who puts pressure on him. try other things.” things with the car and you can’t do A to B testing because the data isn’t as valuable when you don’t have someone performing at the same level.
At Red Bull, says Norris, there is no pressure for him: “At the same time, there is no pressure. You don’t have to try to beat anyone on your own team. It brings some comfort, but they go together…”.
“In a way, I like having a little pressure because it makes me do a little better job. Whoever his teammate is, he doesn’t care. But Having a strong teammate has its pros and cons. And I hope that at some point he will have one that can challenge him a little more,” Lando concludes.
Leclerc replied before
Charles Leclercwho also felt touched by driving the Ferrari, said that had been exaggerated: “He’s an incredible driver, without a doubt. Whether he was successful in the Ferrari or not, I don’t know what the Red Bull is like, what the McLaren is like, and he doesn’t know what the Ferrari is like that, so maybe it’s a bit of an exaggeration to say something like that.”
