Relaxed and philosophical Red Bull driver on his competitive spirit, learning to understand losing and the satisfaction of victory
Max Verstappen cuts every bit the figure of a confident Formula One world champion, as well he might. The Dutchman is as driven as ever, his competitive spirit as robust now as when he was a child.
Sitting in his Red Bull motorhome at the team’s home race, the Austrian Grand Prix, with his first title under his belt, Verstappen carries a relaxed, almost philosophical air. He displays the ominous, calm assurance of a sportsperson at the top of their game.
