Nico Rosberg could not help marvel at the “magical” way in which Max Verstappen “dances” through corners in his Red Bull.
Max Verstappen has received high praise from Nico Rosberg, who admired the way the Dutch driver can make his Red Bull “dance” on its rear during races. Rosberg described it as “magical” and “unbelievable”, noting the challenge it poses for Verstappen’s teammates in keeping up with the car’s unique handling. The struggle to find a suitable second driver for Red Bull has been evident with Sergio Perez’s subpar performances leading to his departure and Liam Lawson’s initial struggles. Yuki Tsunoda, who replaced Lawson, has shown improvement but still faces difficulties handling the car compared to last year’s Perez. The car’s design tailored to Verstappen’s extreme driving style has created a gap in performance between him and his teammates, leading to challenges in taming the car’s pointed nature. Rosberg emphasized the skill required to handle the car’s oversteer tendencies and rear-end agility, attributing it to Verstappen’s exceptional driving talent and the difficulty faced by other drivers in the team.
