With a Master’s degree in sports journalism, I fell in love with tennis as a child and have always loved reading the great stories of this sport. Today, I want to tell them, enjoy my passion to the fullest and be as close as possible to the aces of the circuit.
For the past few seasons, Max Verstappen has taken over the Formula 1 championship with incredible success. Dominant, the 26-year-old Dutch driver has been winning one after another and his talent is undeniable. Even though he says he won’t continue his career as long as some, he could manage to break all the Formula 1 records. He could join the most famous athletes of all time, as Red Bull likes to think.
Three-time reigning world champion, Max Verstappen is well on course to add a fourth crown. Still well ahead as the summer break draws to a close, the Dutchman is still a cut above the rest. So much so that his team dares to draw comparisons, even with some of the greatest sportsmen of all time.

“He’s like Roger Federer and Michael Jordan”
Obviously, to be a pilot Formula 1you have to demonstrate exceptional qualities. Max Verstappen has been one of the best for years and he managed to get his hands on the championship in an incredible way, like no one else. “Some people are able to do things that no one else can do. I don’t know how or why. But that’s what he’s able to do. He’s like Roger Federer, like Michael Jordan. These are people who are able to do things that no one else can do.” he was amused to say Pierre Wachétechnical director at Red Bull.
Extraordinary cerebral qualities
And Max Verstappen dominates so much today, it is not simply because he has a very good car. The Dutch driver makes his qualities speak for themselves in the best possible way, always according to Pierre Waché. “The driver is the controller of the car, and he has the ability to control and operate the car, which no one else has. This allows him first of all to free up some of his brain capacity to drive at the same time and analyze what he needs and what he wants. His reactions are very interesting, because he uses the car to the limit, like no one else does.” continues the French engineer.
