Max Verstappen has evolved significantly over the years to come up with a scenario where he competes against a seven-time world champion for a championship title in F1. One of the main reasons for Verstappen’s growth spurt is of course his aggression on the track and the breakneck speed.

Newey, one of the most amazing designers in Formula 1, thought that Verstappen’s frequent and accurate feedback on the car was a big plus for the success of the team between Mercedes and Ferrari.
“Its natural speed is very clear. His feedback is very good. I’ve seen everything related to driver feedback, which is a big variable. There are some riders who talk endlessly, starting with the first phase of entering Turn 1 and ending with the final phase of exiting Turn 20, ”he said, according to The Race.
“I fell asleep in the meantime. I’ve lost focus. While Max has a very good balance to focus on the most important parts he needs to make the car go fast. “

Newey’s words certainly confirm the reason other drivers are struggling at Red Bull while Verstappen looked very strong and competitive. But that’s undeniably the way to go for the team.
After nearly a decade of patience, the Milton Keynes outfit is finally on its way to claim the Constructors’ title this season.
Max Verstappen has matured into a great racing driver: Newey
The British engineer estimated that Verstappen hardly caused any breakdowns on the track and managed to keep his Red Bull in one piece for most of the first half of the season.
“His driving skills are obviously excellent. His ability to live with a neutral car with the tail moving a little is exceptional, ”he said.

“And he has matured into a great racing driver. He really didn’t make any mistakes this year. If you include Hungary, which was halfway effectively a DNF, then through no fault of his own he had three DNFs. But he kept his head and recovered from it all. “
Overall, the summer break is only a few weeks to the end. And the actions are all set to return to the track. At the start of the second half, all eyes will be on Hamilton and Verstappen, who are in the battle of their lives. But who will come out on top in the end?
