Timo Glock recently compared Max Verstappen to Michael Schumacher after the Brazilian Grand Prix, calling Verstappen’s performance in Formula 1 “unique.” Glock mentioned that Max’s driving skills, especially in the rain, are on par with Schumacher’s. He praised Max for his extraordinary race performances, even though a world title isn’t yet secured.
Lando Norris faced disappointment as his chances for a first world championship slipped away with a sixth-place finish at Interlagos. Glock noted how painful it must be for Norris, given the opportunity he had in Brazil. Who would have predicted that Verstappen could clinch victory starting from 17th place? Instead of closing the gap, Max extended his lead over Lando.
Red Bull did not expect this
Red Bull didn’t foresee this outcome either. Helmut Marko had mentioned before the race that they might lose up to ten points. They expected to drop points against Norris but ended up increasing their lead instead.
Meanwhile, McLaren is still in the fight for the constructors’ title, holding onto a 36-point advantage. Andrea Stella can take pride in their season, though there were missed opportunities along the way, as Glock pointed out. Fans might wonder if McLaren can hold onto their lead until the end.
In the world of racing, surprises like these keep everyone on their toes. What do you think about these unexpected twists?
