Verstappen tells media rightly: 'It's not my world'

Max Verstappen is in an exciting championship battle with Lewis Hamilton, but it doesn't mean that the Dutchman is going to behave any differently. The Dutchman wants to see his life in Formula 1 in perspective, he says in an interview with AP News.

Every week the media frequently write about the battle between the Brit and the Dutchman. Both in front of and behind the scenes Mercedes and Red Bull Racing are having a tough fight with each other. Verstappen, however, does not want to get involved in that. "I’m just a normal guy and I grew up in a small town," the driver explained. "All these things, the drama, it’s just not for me. It’s not my world."

The frontrunner in the world championship is lucky to have Jos Verstappen as a father. In the past, he learned from his father how to deal with the pressure in motorsport, so that he can get the most out of his qualities.
