He did it first Max Verstappen at a press conference, asking where the British journalists who had criticized him so much were; and then it was his father, Joseph. He also recalled this press which defended Lando Norris tooth and nail. This was the double request of Verstappen after the Brazilian Grand Prix.
In statements to ‘Racing News’, Jos reveals Max’s motivation for the criticism received during the last races: “I think he was very motivated after the negative journalists from England and the negative drivers.”
“Today he showed who was the best. They think they are disrupting him, but he will only get better because of it,” says the former Formula 1 driver.
And he insists on the message, puffing out his chest for the feat achieved by his son (from seventeenth position to victory at the Brazilian GP): “I am very proud of what he showed today. I think everyone has seen who is the best.” .
The Verstappens took advantage of a brilliant weekend for Max to pay off some bills. And the fourth consecutive title is approaching. With three races to come (Las Vegas, Qatar and Abu Dhabi)the distance increased to 61 points.
Max won’t miss it. He survived despite his Red Bull being far from the fastest car on the grid. With McLaren far. And now that his car has regained performance, Verstappen only has to confirm fourth. And continue to write Formula 1 history.
