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.
Regardless of what happens in Max Verstappen's F1 career, the Dutchman certainly makes the best of it, whether he struggles to win races, or secures world championships, he still enjoys the time he spends in F1, as he told Daily Sport, the sports branch of The Daily Mail.
"The enjoyment keeps me going, I truly enjoy what I'm doing," Verstappen began. However, the motivation to continue to drive and perform at the highest level in the pinnacle of motorsport, cannot come from only winning races and championships. The Dutchman reveals what exactly continues to fuel his desire in Formula One.
"Look in the mirror and tell yourself you're giving 100%"
"Of course, I'm happy with the races we are winning (at Red Bull) and the championships but at the end of the day, what needs to motivate you is that you can look in the mirror and tell yourself that you're still giving it 100 per cent and that you're enjoying what you're doing, " the four time world champion concluded.
Following Sergio Perez extrication from within the ranks of the Red Bull Racing team, Liam Lawson will partner Verstappen next season, when Red Bull will try to recover the throne that McLaren took by force in 2024.
