Dutchman Max Verstappen has etched his name forever in the record books single-handedly, by scoring one of the most dominant seasons in the history of Formula 1. Hence, this performance has helped him gain huge amounts of respect not only from Red Bull but from everyone on the grid. Some incidents come up showcasing the team’s respect for the reigning world champion.

Verstappen racing mindset and eagle-like focus helped him achieve such amazing feats within Formula 1. Hence, a GQ correspondent reminisced about an incident where the team renamed a brainstorming session under the Dutchman’s name. The session was called ‘Max Time’ and helped Verstappen stay buoyant and positive during the racing sessions.

At one point at RBR, I watched Max sidle up to Horner and his engineers for what was described to me as a bit of “Max time.” He was buoyant, in his most preferred environment.

Additionally, the 26-year-old also won three world championships in a row. Keeping in mind the other teams such as Mercedes, Ferrar, McLaren, etc, winning the title amidst these teams was a great achievement. The correspondent further highlighted that Verstappen winning the world championship was not a victory only for him, but his fans, family, and the entire team present on the grid during his victories.

And it was a vivid reminder that a title for Max is a title for many, many people who are not Max. He is the steward now—of his family, his team, and his sport.

Max Verstappen accepted that he couldn’t win every race possible

Although the three-time world champion scored 19 victories out of 22 races, he still wished to win them all. Despite the team’s efforts and hard work, the Dutchman is bound to make mistakes at some point or the other which would inadvertently affect his chances of winning the races. Hence, Verstappen resonated with his father, Jos Verstappen‘s thought process where his dad was seemingly ‘hard’ on him at times.

Jos Verstappen often chimed in the 26-year-old and reminded him about losing the races despite being on a high. Additionally, Jos wanted Verstappen to feel the pain of losing at times to help him cope with losses better. This gesture from his father really helped the world champion to come to terms with his losses and accept the fact that at times he couldn’t win every race possible.

Hence, the reigning world champion prepares for the challenges in the upcoming season alongside his highly dominant team Red Bull. The team will soon unveil their challenger for the 2024 season which would potentially facilitate Verstappen to clinch another championship title under his belt.
