A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.
Max Verstappen may have pole position for the Japanese Grand Prix, but he is not completely satisfied yet. The Dutchman is dependent on his competitors - and that is no surprise to him.
After securing pole at Suzuka circuit, Verstappen shouted out in joy over the team radio. He can compete with McLaren, but not just because of his own strong lap and Red Bull's performance.
Verstappen: 'Others make more mistakes'
In fact, the Dutchman relies on the competitors as well. "I am also dependent on what the others do," says Verstappen after to De Telegraaf after qualifying.
"But yes, they do indeed make more mistakes than I do. I am not surprised about that. If I can stay close enough, I know I can always make the difference."
