Domenicali: Max will help the team become the best again.

      Formula 1 chief Stefano Domenicali, in an interview with RacingNews365, spoke about Max Verstappen's strengths and his role in the team…

      Stefano Domenicali: “Max is phenomenal, the best driver, and that certainly matters. Today, when he doesn't have the best car, you appreciate his qualities even more. In our sport, where the car's performance is very important, you see that experience and a driver's skill play a decisive role. Over the years Max has become more mature, he has a family, but he still loves racing. He's always behind the wheel. And that's great.

      The advantage of Formula 1 is that it features different personalities, and that is great for our sport. Max is very straightforward, but we understand each other well. I talk to him, I explain my position — we may have different opinions, but I understand him.

      I believe Red Bull should give him the best car. And I know that Laurent Mekies will do everything possible to make that happen. The team is built around Max; it's an ecosystem with him at the center. He has the opportunity to focus on the work he wants to be best at, and now he has the chance to help the team become the best again.”
