12 months after an accident that could have cost him much more than a zero in the standings, Max Verstappen returns to Silverstone. The reigning world champion has returned from an almost perfect streak, with five wins and a third place in the last six races that have led him to have a 46-point advantage over team mate Sergio Perez in the overall standings. The ‘first of the others’, Charles Leclerc, is three points behind. The British track, in addition to the terrible accident of 2021 after the contact with Lewis Hamilton, also offers good memories to the Red Bull rider, who in 2020 – in the two GPs disputed on this track – obtained a second and a first place.
Presenting the British weekend, in fact, Milton Keynes’s # 1 used words that testify to his great desire to do well: “Can’t wait to go back to Silverstone – reiterated Verstappen – because it is a classic and historical race on the calendar. There are so many fans and it’s nice to know that we are a stone’s throw from the team’s headquarters in the Milton Keynes factory. It’s also nice to be back on a traditional circuit after having raced on several road circuits. Performance this weekend will depend on being able to find a good balance and also on the right tire strategy as the degradation will be high. So there are a lot of things we need to fine-tune this weekend, it won’t be a walk in the park“, Clarified the leader of the world championship.
