Ex-AlphaTauri Team Principal outlines how Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen’s disciplined approach is what set them apart as the two
Franz Tost, the former team principal of the Faenza squad and Red Bull’s second-string side, played a crucial role in the development of Formula 1 champions Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen. Vettel made history by winning the team’s first race in the rain at Monza in 2008 and went on to secure four consecutive Drivers’ titles and 39 race wins. Verstappen joined Toro Rosso as the youngest driver in F1 history and impressed with a win in Barcelona before being promoted to Red Bull. In his third title-winning year, Verstappen surpassed Vettel’s win tally of 53, demonstrating his exceptional talent. Tost also highlighted the professionalism and development of other drivers he worked with, making it difficult to single out one standout performer. However, he acknowledged that Vettel and Verstappen’s extreme attention to detail, discipline, and innovation in their pursuit of success set them apart as the best.
