Johnny Herbert believes the FIA stewards at the Mexican Grand Prix gave Max Verstappen an extra push to perform well in Brazil. He also thinks Verstappen was driven by his not-so-great qualifying round on Sunday morning.
Herbert mentioned that Verstappen is always full of energy and determination. He had a rough time during qualifying, which made him start from a challenging position, but it only pushed him to prove his exceptional skills. “Those little hiccups as we could call what happened in Mexico are something that don’t affect him,” Herbert shared. Fans love watching his natural talent shine on race day.
Verstappen’s Talent Shines Bright
According to Herbert, when conditions get tough like they did at Interlagos, that’s when a driver’s true talent is revealed. Many drivers felt uneasy with their cars over the weekend, saying there wasn’t much grip. But that’s where skill comes into play—especially in the rain, where you have to carefully maneuver your car like threading a needle.
Max, just like all legendary racers, has an amazing connection with his car. He feels every move through his fingers and toes, allowing him to drive right on the edge. When things get tricky, the best drivers rise to the top.
Fans might think that Verstappen’s ability to handle such pressure makes him one of the greatest.
Herbert concluded by saying that this unique feel for the car sets great drivers apart and helps them excel even when conditions are tough.
