Martin Brundle has advised F1 world champion Max Verstappen to be more diplomatic and balanced with his opinions about the sport.
In 2023, Verstappen had great success on the track, but also expressed criticism towards the F1 sprint and the Las Vegas Grand Prix. He called the event “99% show and 1% sport,” and denounced the new street circuit. Despite this, he warmed up to the event on race day after winning another race. Brundle, in his post-race column, questioned Verstappen for being a “vocal downer” and suggested that more diplomacy and balance would be fitting for his legacy in the sport. Brundle also expressed confusion as to why Verstappen is still seen as a villain by some F1 fans, highlighting Verstappen’s improvement in maturity and fair racing on track.
