We witnessed a crazy and chaotic race for the German Grand Prix, which was won by Max Verstappen, who in the meantime showed a 360-degree pirouette, which he described as a show for spectators, although at the time it did not feel like a show.
“What a race,” Max rumbled into the radio as he crossed the finish line. “It’s amazing to stand at the very top after a race like this. It was incredibly difficult to make the right decisions. At no point should you lose your concentration. ” Last but not least, his pirouette showed this, but Max took it well with this mistake as well. “With the exception of this spin, which I can only smile about, everything went great. We did more bike changes at the right time. I can’t thank my team enough. I am very happy and proud of their work. ”
In these difficult conditions, Max Verstappen showed why he is the upcoming world champion. His overtaking maneuvers were clean and perfect, his re-flying starts after the safety car phase were so good that he always took enough advantage before rivals with an open DRS could attack him. In short: Max did everything right in the race.
Max has shown everyone that he is great in tough conditions. Sam says about it: “Many years of experience. My dad was also pretty fast on the wet track and I don’t even know how many thousands of laps we drove together on the wet track and then analyzed the ride. That experience paid off today. ”
Max consolidated his third place with this victory and is getting closer to Valetteri Bottas. Lewis Hamilton remains at the top. "Every victory feels different, but this one is especially sweet because you couldn't afford to make any mistakes. Now I can say that my pirouette was for the fans and for their entertainment. But the truth is, we weren’t that good at intermediates tires. At the start of the race I was long behind Bottas, but when I then had a clear path, I was able to show what speed is in Red Bull Honda. ”
And when asked how vulnerable Mercedes is, Max said: “These are still miles ahead of the rest. Mercedes is still the dominant team. But today it was very easy to make a mistake. And for a change, Mercedes also made a mistake once. ”
