Max Verstappen is on an impressive winning streak. In his home race at Circuit Zandvoort, the Dutchman equalled Sebastian Vettel' s record with nine wins in a row. Verstappen has seemed virtually unbeatable in Formula 1 for some time now and tells where he found the "click" with his car.
Verstappen gets everything out of RB19
The RB19 is the best car in the field, but then the driver still has to get everything out of it. That is something Verstappen has certainly managed to do in recent races; teammate Sergio Perez has had a harder time of it. At Miami in early May, Verstappen began his run of victories, while Perez only made the podium four times in those nine races since Miami. Verstappen explains where he found something in the RB19.
"I think I learned a lot from the race in Baku, how to do some things with the car, how to set it up. Of course, I didn't win that race in Baku, but I actually really tried a lot of stuff and different tools in the car, and that's why throughout the race, it was a little bit inconsistent, but at one point I got into a good rhythm with what I found, but then I damaged my tyres a bit too much. But I was like, ‘OK, that's quite interesting for the next races.’ And I basically implemented that, and it has helped me on every track."
