Krak: Last season was the best of Verstappen's career

      Mike Crack, race director and former Aston Martin team principal, believes that the 2024 season was the best of Max Verstappen's career, as the world champion had to face serious difficulties, but he successfully overcame them. "Last season was probably his best season in our memory, because he became champion, although Red Bull Racing had a problematic car," Crack told RacingNews365. - It was seen with what serious difficulties at times faced Sergio Perez, because, in my opinion, the RB20 was not even second or third in speed. But Max showed a great example of piloting, and his champion qualities were manifested just when the real difficulties began. More than once we saw how after hard training sessions he managed to achieve a turning point in qualifying, and we thought: "Wow! How is this possible? I have to admit that in Brazil we saw what this driver is capable of. You don't become a four-time champion by just doing laps. Especially last year we saw how difficult it was for him and his team. I just have to take my hat off to him for his achievements. To be honest, I admire him. If you think back to the Brazilian Grand Prix, even on a rain-soaked track there wasn't a lot of overtaking, but Verstappen just burst through the peloton and beat everyone by almost half a minute. We saw a real masterpiece. It's very nice to see examples of such a high level of skill in Formula 1. I must say that some champions have some special qualities that don't show up every year, but sometimes we see such examples...".
