Max Verstappen has revealed the moment he felt the most pressure on his way to winning his third F1 world championship.
The Red Bull driver, who wrapped his third consecutive world title at last weekend’s Qatar Grand Prix, has dominated the 2023 season, winning 14 of the 17 races so far.
“The race in Zandvoort, when you're driving on slicks and it's raining, and I know of course I normally enjoy driving in the wet, but I also know that I'm leading the championship and if I go off and I'm stuck, you know, you lose a lot of points,” Verstappen said. “Sometimes there are people behind you that are a bit faster, because they have nothing to lose. So it's a very different mindset as well that you're in when you are fighting for a championship.”
“I think my win in Miami, I really enjoyed,” he said. “Spa, Zandvoort, but also Suzuka, like, winning the Constructors’ for example with the team there was fantastic. It's difficult to really pick one to be honest.”Perfection needed to beat Red Bull-Verstappen combination, warns F1 champion
