Sky Sports pundit in awe of Verstappen's 'genius' spin recovery

After the start of the Miami Grand Prix, the Red Bull Racing driver was running in second place behind Charles Leclerc before losing control of his RB22. Verstappen spun 360 degrees but was able to continue, despite losing several positions.

In his Sky Sports column, former F1 driver Brundle marked the incident unusual, but also saw the genius of Verstappen. He writes: "In front of the whole pack except Leclerc, he deftly used the throttle, brakes, and steering wheel to execute a full 360-degree turn, pointing nicely down the racetrack and somehow maintaining some forward speed.

Later on, on older harder tyres after being the only frontrunner to pit under the Safety Car, Verstappen had to defend from Kimi Antonelli and Lando Norris. Brundle also found those battles interesting to watch. He adds: "It was very enjoyable watching the pair of them catch and pass Max Verstappen who just wouldn't give a centimetre despite needing his tyres to survive the remaining 50 laps."
