Athletistic/ Formula 1. “Red Bull” racer Max Verstappen spoke about the role of “second numbers” in F-1 teams. For example, the co-pilot of “Mercedes” Valtteri Bottas, who spoke with Lewis Hamilton, was taken away.

“Every year he does it again, but after a few races he realizes it won’t happen again (beating a teammate) and accepts his role. Bottas still finished on the podiums, won several races and poles.

It’s important to accept that sometimes the rider next to you is a little better. It’s normal, it can happen. Some riders can’t accept it and then things go wrong. Then they don’t play too long. I won’t name names, but you have to accept your role and not live in an imaginary world,” said Max Verstappen.
