Marko reveals Verstappen was 'a bit nervous' ahead of tenth win
Max Verstappen has never made a secret of not placing too much value on records. Yet the record does mean something to the Dutchman, Helmut Marko noted.
Marko: 'Max was quite nervous for tenth win'
At the German branch of Sky Sports, Marko looked back on the Italian Grand Prix. "We had to pay a bit of attention to the temperature, but overall both cars were very good in the race today," the Red Bull Racing advisor summarised.
Verstappen's record-breaking tenth win is barely behind him or Marko is already looking ahead to the next race. "I know Max was a bit nervous today because it was his tenth win in a row. If we win in Singapore now, we will know enough," said the 80-year-old Austrian.
"It's actually an incredible success story. Last time in the Netherlands it was already a great story, everyone was going crazy. But I have never experienced anything like this," Marko concluded.
