Max Verstappen dismisses ‘sensitive’ subject with ‘rocket science’ quip
Max Verstappen has stated that there is no “rocket science” behind his driving style that suits the Red Bull car better than his team-mates. The team has often struggled in recent years because his team-mates have been unable to keep up with the pace of the challengers. After parting ways with Sergio Perez in 2024, the team replaced him with Liam Lawson, who was quickly replaced by Yuki Tsunoda. However, Tsunoda has also faced challenges behind the wheel. Verstappen emphasized that each driver has different needs from the car, and his driving style is based on what he learned early in his career. He focuses on how to adapt his driving to address issues like understeer or oversteer, and constantly communicates with the team to improve the car. Verstappen believes there is no secret formula to his success, just a continuous process of refining his skills and working with the team to make progress in Formula 1.
