Max Verstappen (September 30, 1997) was raised in an environment of maximum pressure. Since he was young, his father always wanted to make him the best driver in the world. Karting always comes first and school second. Joseph Verstappen He pushed her to the limit on many occasions despite being young. nothing unusual here controversial jos, that in 2012 he spent 15 days in jail for intentionally running over his ex-girlfriend with a car, and that he had previously been denounced for threatening his ex-wife, the pilot María Sophie Kumpen, Max’s mother, and for assaulting Frans, his own father. In 2017, he got into a fight at a nightclub and was arrested for defying the police. And earlier he starred in another altercation at a go-kart track. From him his methods with little Max will not be the most conventional. His training was almost military.
They cover nearly 100,000 kilometers per year for Max to train and compete tirelessly. He forced her to drive with cold hands, no matter how painful it wasand as Max said, once, when he was a teenager, his father left him stranded at a gas station to meditate after a go-karting accident, although he later returns to find her. The sum of all this and his subsequent recruitment by Red Bull at the age of 16 created the pilot that Max Verstappen is today. She was used to always expecting the best from him, and therefore, only he is more dependent on his people. It does not allow for a mistake. He showed it this year on several occasions.
Yesterday he was proclaimed world champion a week after showing his strong character against his team. A week ago, Max Verstappen did not cut his hair when criticizing his own team, which gave him the best car on the grid this year.for misclassification which prevented him from achieving the pole. “This is unacceptable,” he said. Even his enormous advantage, which was more than 100 points over Leclerc, did not allow him to relativize what happened. You don’t know what relaxation is. For him it’s about winning, winning and winning. Because of this, before arriving at this Japanese appointment, he gave a clear warning to his group: “We have to do everything perfectly”. And he won with 4 runs to spare.
After the Japanese date, the image is very different in Singapore. Yesterday it was all smiles and hugs with his team. But we must not forget that only 6 months ago, the image was very different. In April, Verstappen was disappointed to retire in two of the first three races due to two fuel leaks. And besides, his Red Bull made the tires even worse.
“I have no reason to believe in the Championship. There are 20 races to go, but I think I’ll need 45 to have a choice. We need to be faster and more reliable”, He said. The Red Bull leader is tough again. He lacked faith. And Red Bull and Honda taught him a lesson he might have missed in his father’s tough training: F1 is not an individual sport. It’s a team sport and you have to support it. Red Bull and Honda reacted, quickly solved their problems, executed the races perfectly with good techniques and pit stops without mistakes. And in the race to develop their car, Milton Keynes crushed the Ferraris to a decisive step in front in the second half of the championship. Red Bull beat Ferrari in every area and delivered the car Max wanted. He didn’t waste it. He has no faith. He doesn’t trust his team.
