Mark Webber believes the sport should embrace Max Verstappen
During his interview, Mark has pointed to the fact that Max came into the sport when he was very young and also said that the level of confidence that he had in himself from the beginning is hard to find. Since the beginning of Max’s career in Formula1, he has been a confident young man who has a lot of belief in his abilities.
Max is only the fourth driver to win a Formula1 championship under the age of 25 years and has already got 20 race wins under his belt, he is just one shy of Kimi Raikkonen’s total tally of race wins which he managed in his whole career. Given this, it is quite right to say that ever since Max has stepped foot in Formula1, he has been really impressive.
In Mark Webber’s opinion, Max has risen in the sport in a very short time. He has also pointed out the fact that he has got probably the biggest fan base among the current drivers in Formula1 and gave a mention to the support that Max got at Zandvoort, his home Grand Prix.
In Mark’s opinion, Max Verstappen has become a brand in himself and should be embraced by the sport.
