Verstappen retaliates after awkward F1 Austrian GP mix-up
Reigning F1 champion Max Verstappen corrected a mistake during an awkward exchange at this week’s FIA press conference, clarifying that he has actually won five times at the Austrian Grand Prix in Spielberg, not four as initially mentioned.
Despite the confusion, Verstappen holds the record for the most wins at the event and has been dominant at the Red Bull Ring.
His success continued in 2021 with back-to-back victories at both the Styrian GP and the Austrian GP, solidifying his claim to five wins at the circuit.
While Verstappen’s blunt responses to questions during the press conference looked to his past achievements rather than his future aspirations, his impressive track record speaks for itself in terms of his prowess at the Austrian Grand Prix.
Although technically correct in his assertion of five wins due to the unique circumstances of the 2020 and 2021 seasons, the Dutch driver’s excellence on the Red Bull Ring remains unmatched by his competitors.
