Max Verstappen is one of the very best at the pinnacle of motorsport, showcasing his relentless abilities on and off the grid. His vocal nature has helped the Milton-Keynes-based team on many occasions while also sparking scrutiny among many.
Red Bull chief engineer Paul Monaghan has, however, sided with Verstappen’s outputs on the team radio. Monaghan has deemed his rants to be of a constructive nature, which can be used for improving overall performance.
