Max Verstappen, the talented Dutch racing driver, has been making waves in Formula 1. His recent comments shed light on his preference for dominating races with a substantial lead rather than engaging in close battles.
When asked whether he would prefer a tense duel with an equal rival or a comfortable 20-second lead, Verstappen’s response was unequivocal: He said,
“At least 20 seconds!” said Verstappen. “I’ve been in a lot of close fights in my life, and I like it a lot more now when we’re sure we can win by a big margin. Of course that’s not what the fans want to hear, but I’m an honest guy. I’m here to win and create my own success.” [Translated by Google Translate]
