Helmut Marko found an unusual image for Max Verstappen. Red Bull’s motorsport advisor compared the reigning world champion to a squirrel, meaning that Max collects every point like a squirrel collects nuts.
Helmut Marko: “Max looks a bit like a squirrel. The squirrels collect every nut they see. Max uses the same approach when it comes to individual points. He already has experience, and our team has experience. For example, in 2009 we had the fastest car and the fastest driver, but we didn’t win the title because we did a lot of things wrong.
Now it’s clear that Max is still the best and I won’t compare him to other racers anymore. In Austin Max drove like a champion. He ran an incredible race. Max didn’t make a single mistake under the enormous pressure and his tires practically didn’t hold the track. The car didn’t have the same speed as in the sprint, but we have only one goal in mind: the title.
It is necessary to understand what caused the loss of speed on Sunday. Max had serious problems with understeer. The gaps are so minimal that Ferrari, Mercedes, McLaren and us have equal chances, and it all depends on the characteristics of the track and the temperature. Any team can win.”
