Leading up to the last race of the season, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Max Verstappen came in for the press conference on Thursday.
Life experience and development as a driver
When asked how he has developed as a driver over the past few years, the Dutchman, as always, has a clever answer ready.
"I don't have a notebook or anything like that in which I write how I can go faster, it's more a natural thing", says Verstappen.
He continues: "You take with you the experiences of the years before, and it's also about feeling good about yourself, being happy in life. For example, the time you spend outside of racing with your family and friends".
