Verstappen responds to Marko’s claim: 'Been at this level all season'

Earlier, Marko had claimed that Verstappen was performing at a higher level, particularly since the resumption of Formula 1 after the summer break. However, speaking via Viaplay, Verstappen insisted he has remained at a high level all season, before detailing how he enjoys the results recorded more by the team currently.

Verstappen continued his resurgence with a victory at the United States Grand Prix. The 28-year-old has since cut the gap to championship leader Oscar Piastri to 40 points, from a staggering 104 as at the Dutch Grand Prix.

Verstappen also weighed in on the possibility of winning the 2025 drivers’ title. The Red Bull Racing star, who spoke to GPblog, admitted there is a chance of such happening.

However, the Dutch driver stated the need for the team to continue on a similar trajectory for such an achievement to come to fruition.

In any case, if Verstappen clinch the 2025 drivers’ title, he will have overcome the biggest points deficit in a Formula 1 championship fight in the history of the sport.

The sport now heads next to Mexico, for the Mexican Grand Prix - a venue where Verstappen has previously triumphed five times.
