Max Verstappen’s stunning victory when he started from 17th in Brazil, against the backdrop of the relative failure of Lando Norris, who started from pole, dramatically changed the situation in the championship race.
On the pages of De Telegraaf, Red Bull consultant Helmut Marko made no secret of his satisfaction…
Helmut Marko: “After all this talk and criticism, Max showed who the real champion is. In Brazil he seemed to fly around the track. In the difficult conditions of the rainy race he performed flawlessly, which cannot be said about Lando Norris.
Can we say that Max has taken a big step towards the title in Sao Paulo? I don’t think this is a step. This is actually a title.
Knowing that Max would start 17th, his race engineer and I bet on him making the podium. Lambiase didn’t believe it, but I didn’t doubt it, even though I thought it would just be a podium, not a win, and I won $100. Max is built in such a way that he always wants to achieve more.”
