Management “Red Bull ” seriously considered the possibility of infecting the pilot of the team Max Verstappen coronavirus at the start of the pandemic, so that the rider develops immunity, said Red Bull sports adviser Helmut Marko.
– The doctors thought that as soon as you did that (to carry the disease), everything would be over. At that time, we did not yet know that it was possible to be infected a second and third time. And we have young and strong people. It’s like the flu. Imagine if Verstappen had caught the virus last year at the wrong time. He could not have won the title if he had to miss a race or two, – quotes the words of Marco Car and Driver.
In 2020, Verstappen took third place in the Formula 1 championship, losing to two Mercedes drivers – Lewis Hamilton (champion) and Valtteri Bottas (runner-up). In the past and current season, the Dutch rider has become the champion.
