Verstappen: Red Bull F1 car not designed around my driving style
In response to comments made by Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff suggesting that Max Verstappen’s success is due to the “tricky” nature of the car, Verstappen dismissed the idea that the car is designed around his driving style. He stated that he adapts his driving to maximize the car’s potential and that his driving style is not specific but rather depends on what is necessary for the car to go fast. Verstappen also noted that achieving consistent success is not as easy as it may seem and that people may not fully appreciate the difficulty involved in delivering strong performances. When asked about his status among the all-time greats in Formula 1, Verstappen remained modest and stated that he is not trying to prove his belonging among other names but rather focused on doing the best he can and winning when he has the opportunity. Finally, Verstappen downplayed the possibility of beating Sebastian Vettel’s consecutive win record, emphasizing the challenges and uncertainties that come with each race weekend.
