Former F1 driver Paul DI Resta believes that Max Verstappen's best moment in the 2019 season came in Germany, where the Dutchman claimed victory ahead of Sebastian Vettel.
The 22-year-old enjoyed a strong season for Aston Martin Red Bull Racing, finishing in third place in the drivers' championship, only behind the two Mercedes.
“For me, the German GP stands out," DI Resta was quoted by Speedweek.
"It was a chaotic race, but Max kept a cool head despite a bad start and was in attack mode all the time. In doing so, he has shown how much his approach has changed."
Di Resta finished in 2017 just as Verstappen was starting to make his way in the sport, and made 59 starts in his career, collecting 121 points in total.
