Windsor sees supreme Verstappen: 'Max understands the car'
Throughout the Formula 1 world, the question reigns: who can stop Max Verstappen? With six race wins in a season where only eight races have been run, the Red Bull driver is back on top of the world championship. Peter Windsor also sees that there is no measure of the Dutchman at the moment.
During qualifying for Sunday's race, the 25-year-old driver managed to secure pole position again. It was close, as rival Charles Leclerc came pretty close. Windsor also sees that Verstappen is in a class of his own at the moment.
Verstappen versus Leclerc
"I've been saying for a long time now, Max is the ultimate, at the moment, short corner driver in terms of his confidence and in terms of how he understands that car and the feel it can give him. He has no fear in Formula One at the moment, given how good that car is as well and so that is why, in my opinion, he was able to do that," Windsor told in an analysis on his YouTube channel.
"He was feeling the car, getting it perfectly rotated at the perfect moment, giving it just the right amount of additional lock to get the diagonal exit out of 10. And he got the pole and it was really close, because had he just driven a sort of normal last two corners, about like everybody else, he might not have got the pole from Charles Leclerc," the 71-year-old Windsor said.
