Jos Verstappen enjoyed perfect race: "He didn't make a single mistake"

Jos Verstappen speaks with pride about the perfect race weekend of son Max Verstappen in Imola. The fact that he also lapped his old rival Lewis Hamilton made it complete.

In his column for Verstappen.com Jos describes his son's performance as "tremendously strong". "He didn't make a single mistake, was very solid and completely in control," he begins. Moreover, he sees that Red Bull Racing has clearly taken a step in the right direction.

According to the Limburger, this became already clear on Saturday during the sprint race, in which Verstappen drove to Charles Leclerc. This forced the Ferrari driver to push harder, which demanded more from his tires. "In Italy, Max and Red Bull put Ferrari under pressure. And under pressure it is easier to make a mistake," Verstappen continued.

As icing on the cake, Verstappen also put his 2021 rival a lap behind. Father Verstappen thought that was good to see, "after what happened last year." "It doesn't happen very often that you get the chance to lap a Mercedes," Jos said.
