Max Verstappen handed ‘selfish’ edge in ‘shocking’ F1 driver verdict
Max Verstappen’s ‘selfish’ streak sets him apart from his F1 rivals, contributing to his success with four drivers’ titles, 71 grand prix victories, and 48 pole positions. However, his ruthless on-track behavior has also attracted criticism, such as the incident with George Russell at the Spanish Grand Prix which cost him valuable points. Former F1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya understands Verstappen’s approach, emphasizing the importance of self-focused determination in racing. Montoya highlights how Verstappen’s competitive mindset and lack of close relationships with rivals contribute to his success on the track. Despite potential friendships like the one with Bortoleto, the competitive nature of racing would ultimately take precedence for Verstappen.
