Consistency is said to be Max Verstappen‘s main asset in becoming Formula 1 Champion”/>Red Bull racing TECHNICIAN Gianpiero Lambiase revealed that the consistency of his colleague, Max Verstappen, was the main asset in becoming Formula 1 world champion four times in a row.
“This year shows many similarities with (Verstappen’s performance) in 2021. The battle (this season) is very fierce,” said Lambiase on the Formula 1 website, Wednesday (27/11).
Verstappen defended his world title this year after finishing fifth at the Las Vegas GP last week, which was enough for him to lock up the world title. His main competitor, McLaren racer Lando Norris, only finished sixth.
“The foundation we had at the start of the year strengthened everything, but he has taken a long step which for you must have been very difficult
trusted, starting from what he does on this team with all of us, and the respect he gives to other racers,” said Lambiase.
“He also fought hard in every race. I am very proud of him,” he continued.
Lambiase and Verstappen have worked together since the Dutch driver was promoted to Red Bull in 2016. That relationship will continue next year with Lambiase’s promotion to head of the racing division.
Red Bull Team Director Christian Horner appreciated Verstappen’s relationship with Lambiase as the basis for the Dutch racer’s success, especially in the 2024 season.
“They have tried hard and (Verstappen) could not have done it without the support he got in the garage, in the team, in the factory,” concluded Horner. (Ant/Z-1)
