Max never gives up
As long as there is even the slightest chance to fight for pole position and victory, Max Verstappen won’t let it slip away. Even if he has a car that isn’t the best on the grid. Even if at Imola he had to start behind the McLaren of championship leader Oscar Piastri. His bold and precise overtake at the Tamburello chicane alone was worth the price of admission and earned him his second win of the season, right on the day of Red Bull’s 400th Formula 1 Grand Prix.
Helmut Marko celebrates
However, the Imola win has a different taste than the one achieved in Japan, according to what Helmut Marko said after the race: “We’ve basically been going in circles for a year, and this was the first time the car was back at the top,” stressed the Austrian advisor, who wanted to highlight the race pace shown by Max.
A competitive Red Bull naturally has significant implications for Max Verstappen’s mood and future: “These performances are an important prerequisite for Max, who needs to see that everyone is working hard and moving in the same direction. For this reason, I’m optimistic about our collaboration with him. In any case, Red Bull is back.”
Helmut Marko’s comments about Max Verstappen’s future are not accidental and should be read as a response to the Dutch champion’s own remarks made during the Imola weekend.
