Max Verstappen He is now a part of motorsports history as one of the best drivers in the world. Formula 1. However, the Dutchman’s path to the top was neither the result of chance nor a bed of roses. The pressure that Verstappen experienced throughout his career, even if he was insatiable on the track, was enormous, with his father being one of the most demanding of his son’s achievements, but also one of the most critical in bad results.
An example of this is the anecdote recently told by the French Alpine driver, Pierre Gaslywhere he was with a Red Bull team and also competed in the lower karting categories. Gasly, in the recording of the documentary ‘Max Verstappen, né pout gagner’ [Nacido para ganar]recalled an episode in which the Dutchman’s father, Jos Verstappen, insulted his son after finishing second in a race in Spain, which the French driver actually won.
“After the exam in Spain, I won the race and Max came second. behind me He returned and his father’s anger disappearedyelling at him in Dutch, and then insulting him in English with words I won’t repeat on camera, but it wasn’t pleasant,” said the Alpine driver. “He grabbed Max’s helmet, picked it up and threw it at him saying, ‘Go away, go back to the tent, you’re not going to win one of your races!’so the pressure is obvious, very strong, race after race,” he explained.
