Max Verstappen He is a four-time world champion in a row with Red Bull. And this season, the car hasn’t been the most dominant on the grid. And his team assumes that without him they would not have won the Formula 1 title in 2024.
He said it Helmut Marko on ‘Motorsport’: “It’s not a winning team, that’s pretty clear. You’ve seen it before. Pérez hasn’t had a very good season. Without Max, if we don’t have such a good car now, you can see what he does.”
“He’s the one who covers everything with his incredible talent, now also with his common sense and his knowledge of when to attack and when not to, he has an incredible overview. I think his only mistake was with Norris in Austria But beyond that “It was an accident-free season,” says the energy drink brand’s advisor.
And despite everything he has accomplished, he remains focused on winning. F1 every day: “I don’t remember all the records he has broken. It’s incredible, but he doesn’t lose his concentration. He has his feet on the ground, he lives his own life. He is very focused and I think that’s what makes it so good.”
“He wants to win, but he doesn’t do it like crazy, he does it on his own. In the past he was often hotheaded, but that has changed“, says Marko.
With two races remaining, Qatar and Abu Dhabi, Max has already sealed the championship ahead of Lando Norris and his McLaren. One of his best years in Formula 1.
