Although reigning Formula One World Champion Max Verstappen improved his driving patterns in 2022, Formula One commentator and former F1 driver Martin Brundle ponders if the Dutch driver would continue to behave well under strain.

After the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in 2017, Brundle questioned whether Verstappen was headed in the direction of Michael Schumacher and Ayrton Senna. Brundle says that those two legends are instances who were also marred by negligent driving. Verstappen was suspected of it by Brundle following the 2021 Grand Prix in Jeddah.

”Max was once again very fair and professional in his way of driving and defending. Generally he is this year, albeit very much pushing the limits in his defence against Mick Schumacher the week before at Silverstone,” said the British former F1 driver regarding the Red Bull Racing driver’s driving style.

The Briton makes references to his own statements from the previous season, but Max has changed them. ”Max would do well to avoid that career reputation. It will be interesting to see how that goes if push literally comes to shove in the championship,” concluded Brundle.
