Max Verstappen He achieved his second world title this year in 2022 with a huge advantage over his rivals. He took the title 4 races early, in Japan, and continued to reap success until he reached 15 wins in 22 races held this year. The Dutchman doesn’t have the best starting car, but red bull it improved the initial reliability problems and then won the development battle against Ferrari in the evolution of its car, especially from the second part of the campaign, where the Milton Keynes team had a car with more great racing speed and less gum wear. Because of that superiority, Red Bull won 9 of the last 10 races, with 8 wins for Max and one for ‘Checo’. Only one escaped him in Sao Paulo, where Mercedes showed its enormous progress after a very complicated start. With that weapon, Verstappen was lethal and Red Bull team boss Christian Horner expressed doubts whether anyone could match Max’s performance in the same car on this course.
“I think Max is running at a level and the way he is driving at the moment I am not sure that anyone, with the same team, can repeat what he did this year.Horner pointed out about the two-time F1 world champion in statements collected by the ‘RaceFans’ portal.
“Our two drivers had their best seasons in Formula 1,” he commented in relation to Max and ‘Checo’, with the Mexican finishing third, close to second place in the World Cup, which went to Leclerc. “Max has been really outstanding this year, he has taken another step after winning the championship a year ago and to think that he has won 15 grands prix and two sprint races…it’s unbelievable.”
“As a team, which has won 17 Grands Prix, with five doubles, first and third in the drivers’ championship, constructors’ world champions, I think with 750 points in the constructors’ championship, we beat all our own records and those. of Formula 1. Obviously there were some ups and downs in the season, but when you look at it as a whole, it was an exceptional year for the team,” Horner concluded.
