F1: Why Verstappen smoked everyone, including Perez in Spa

World Driving Champion Max Verstappen can do things with a race car others simply cannot. And he is getting better at it.

Martin Brundle on Max’s performance in Spa:

“Max found a way to carry speed while continuing to babysit the Pirellis.

“It’s a touch, feel, and finesse that’s very difficult to learn and achieve in my experience”

“When Max caught Sergio Perez in the sister Red Bull Honda, it was as if he were in a different car because he was able to take tighter lines and still get better exit traction without compromising his corner entries.

“He brakes earlier than Checo, that gives him way better exits.

“Perez brakes later, which then compromises his exits”
