Verstappen also dominant in Shanghai
He left and they never saw him again. He restarted (twice) in the Safety Car and disappeared from the radar again. Max Verstappen he did everything perfectly in Shanghai and excelled in one of the very few circuits where he had never won. A result that the Dutchman does not define as perfect, “because no one is“.
Verstappen's words
“Nobody is perfect, but I had a good weekend. What if I am my own adversary? Yes, but the point is that I always have a competition with myself, that's how I grew up and that's what my father always told me: 'You always have to look at yourself and what you need to do better.' So, it's not like when I'm in my head I think of unicorns. Every time I try to improve and think what I can do better, how I can improve my attitude“, commented a Sky Sports F1.
“Clearly I look at the times and the advantage I have, but I want to improve myself, that's why even yesterday in the Sprint I wasn't happy with the car despite having a good advantage, so we made some changes to try to be faster and today I was still happy. moreover. This makes my life easier“, he added.
The ranking
In the drivers' standings, Verstappen already enjoys a 25-point advantage: a considerable margin if you consider that he had to take a heavy zero in Melbourne. With that of Shanghai, the Dutchman achieved the 21st victory in the last 23 races, the 58th of his career. His numbers are constantly updated, and who knows where Super Max can go if he still has the mentality to always improve in the future.
