Lammers: "It is remarkable to see how well prepared he is"

Max Verstappen started from P3 after a disappointing Saturday in Mexico. In the first corner the Red Bull Racing driver won the race by overtaking both Mercedes cars. Jan Lammers is amazed by the preparation of the Dutchman.

After turn one, his pursuers did not see Verstappen again. Teammate Sergio Perez drove several laps in the lead during the pit stop moments of Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton, but it was Verstappen's race.

That the Limburger pulled the race to himself in that first corner after that long straight was only possible because of Verstappen's remarkable preparation, according to Lammers. The F1 connoisseur says at the NOS Formula 1 Podcast the following about the start:

Lammers' analysis shows that Verstappen is extremely well-prepared. The driver leaves nothing to chance. Lammers continued: "Either you come up the straight there on a lap at about 360 km/h, or you start at start/finish, and then you arrive at 320."

According to Lammers, you have to be able to fully rely on such good preparation: "It looked like he was doing it very risky - he was on the edge, but it was just real preparation."
