Verstappen gives five important tips: 'You won't learn anything on your own'
Max Verstappen was asked to give some tips for The website of Red Bull. Max Verstappen was asked to give some tips to people who, like him, want to be in Formula 1. For those who have the dream to make it in the world of motorsports, the Dutchman has five important tips.
As a young talent, Verstappen had the advantage of the right environment. Both his parents had experience in racing and Jos even made it to F1. An ideal mentor for the road ahead. Money was rarely a problem either. Jos enlisted the help of Raymond Vermeulen to arrange these things for Max.
Tips from Verstappen
''You need to find a good team to help you from the start. You don't know much about the sport in the beginning and you won't learn much on your own," is Verstappen's first tip. The Dutchman also believes that talents should take step by step. They should not be in a hurry to take the next step. This also applies to the step to international karting, according to Verstappen. ''I would never have done that if I wasn't ready for it''.
Getting to the top of motorsport costs a lot of money, so Max also advises looking for a good sponsor who can help you get the stuff you need. Not everything is necessary though. ''You don't necessarily need your own team. I drove with my father in a van. If you don't have that yourself, then the team can do this for you, but also this costs a lot of money'', concludes the Red Bull driver.
Jos Verstappen was a millionaire at the time, and access to funds makes it super easy. Yes I do agree that you can't learn without a team , and we see the most successful drivers in F1 have a solid team around them .
Again. Jos was not loaded. The biggest advantages he had was contacts, a good manager and a top sponsor. Not like the junior sponsorship lewis had from mclaren. He was mclaren posterboy, and they wanted to include a dark driver for pr. So he always had advantages to get higher.
Mate you're really gonna draw comparisons, when you clearly have knowledge for the history. I will leave you with this mate enjoy. After a 1998 incident at a karting track in which a man suffered a fractured skull, Verstappen and his father were found guilty in court of assault but were each given a five-year suspended jail sentence after reaching an out-of-court settlement with the victim. In December 2008, with the couple effectively separated, Verstappen appeared in court in Tongeren, Belgium, charged with assaulting his wife.He was found not guilty of assault, but guilty of threatening Kumpen in text messages and of violating a previously issued restraining order. He was fined and sentenced to three months probational, suspended prison sentence. On 29 November 2011, the media reported allegations that Verstappen had assaulted his ex-girlfriend; Verstappen claimed to only have had a discussion with her. In January 2012, he was arrested on attempted murder charges following accusations that he drove a car into his ex-girlfriend in Roermond, but released two weeks later after the charge was withdrawn.Verstappen and his ex-girlfriend, Kelly van der Waal, got back together and were married in 2014. They have one daughter, Blue Jaye, born in September 2014.They divorced on 2 June 2017.
As soon as they dont know what to say of driven into a corner they start talking about jos his temper. yes he did that, no one would ever say otherwise. its just very weak to react with that when it is not even the topic or question. its just pathetic to try and end a confersation with that
again! how did lewis do in your story? how did he come to F1. what is his story also you have no power over me with the story of Jos, because it already was big media and already accepted how it was. its a weakass attemt to provoke someone. meaning you are the one who is a terrible person
Well the truth is disgusting, don't then compare his parenting to anyone else mate . Rather move on to the.next article .
Spoiled brat is just an son of an ex F1 driver. If he doesn’t become lucky Champion this year he will never be.
To be where He is the guy also worked his butt off… Even though he is a son of an ex f1 driver doesn’t guarantee anything.. Hardwork doesn’t criticize another hardowork U criticize, it shows he works more hard than you… Simple at the end he is paid 25M for his hard work…
