Kevin and Max
Max Verstappen has proved to be a cut above the rest of the competition this season and current Manchester City player, Kevin De Bruyne who was present in Belgium, during last weekend’s, race has congratulated him on his exceptional outing.
By winning the first race of the second half of the 2022 Formula One season, Max Verstappen has now taken his tally to 9 Grand Prix wins, and what makes it more special is the fact that he has done it in only 14 Grand Prix events.
While the 24-year-old won the Belgium GP by a comfortable lead over the others, his teammate Sergio Perez finished his outing in P2 after being a massive 18 seconds behind Verstappen.
The huge difference took everyone by surprise at the Belgium Grand Prix and Kevin De Bruyne was also among those people. The Manchester City starlet was in the Red Bull garage at the Spa-Francorchamps and was able to get a close look at how the reigning F1 World Champion operates during a Grand Prix weekend.
The two have over the years developed a good relationship with each other and it has been down to the pair meeting via the sports world.
Kevin De Bruyne admits to learning a few things from Max Verstappen
Kevin De Bruyne is someone who knows a thing or two about winning, considering he does his trade for the Manchester City team that is coached by the legendary Pep Guardiola.
However, despite being a Champion in his own right, De Bruyne has admitted that he learned some things from Verstappen during his Belgium adventure, while shedding light on it, the Manchester City player said, ” “Just the way he is. He is a champion and the best in his sport. You can always pick up little things from other people.”
De Bruyne was left in awe of how easy Max made the victory look in Belgium even when he had the stiff task of tearing through the mid-field in front of him.
The Dutch Grand Prix is up next on the Formula One calendar and if Belgium is anything to go by, the 24-year-old will be eyeing another race win, especially considering, it is his home GP.
