If Max Verstappen completes this comeback, I doubt we will ever see the like again.
Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies believes the F1 world is witnessing history with Max Verstappen’s remarkable comeback in the title race, with the Dutch driver securing his third win in the last four grands prix at the United States GP and closing in on championship leader Oscar Piastri.
Verstappen’s victory reduced the gap to Piastri to 40 points, while Lando Norris, his McLaren teammate, is trailing by just 14 points, injecting excitement into the championship battle.
Max’s dominant performance in the sprint and the main race marked the third time he has achieved double pole and victory, solidifying his status as the only driver to accomplish this feat.
From being a long shot behind Piastri by 104 points after the Dutch Grand Prix, Verstappen has transformed into an underdog relentlessly pursuing the Australian and Norris in the standings.
Mekies reiterated that watching Max drive is witnessing the making of history, praising his skill, dedication, and ability to surprise the team with his exceptional driving and sensitivity on and off the track.
