F1: Verstappen is quite simply a remarkable talent. A freak.
During the Mexico City GP Sunday, apart from the two laps under VSC conditions, race winner Max Verstappen lapped in the 1:22s on every single lap during his 35-lap stint on the medium tires.
Anyone who has driven a race car will tell you that is near impossible to do over that many laps because tires wear, track temperatures change, lapped cars get in your way, you ride a curb the wrong way, the track has tire marble buildup, etc.
He is quite simply a remarkable talent. A freak.
And the British fans and media cannot stand the fact that a Dutchman is better than their hero – Lewis Hamilton.
