Jos Verstappen: For Max, the team has once again become a family
If Jos Verstappen was sometimes critical of Christian Horner, he completely trusts the team's new leader, Laurent Mekies…
Jos Verstappen: "Laurent is an initiative-taking leader, able to work with engineers and ask the right questions. Laurent knows how to set tasks for them and solve them.
Besides, there's also what Max did in Monza, forcing the team to operate at the limit. Now Max not only has someone people listen to, but also a team leader who helps him achieve more.
Recently I saw an article where Max said he again feels in the team like in a family. Not long ago everything was falling apart, and now everyone is sticking together and working at full throttle. Sometimes I talk to Laurent, but I see what he's doing and I don't want to interfere. I'm here only as a father, and he can get on with his job.
Now the feelings are completely different; everything is exactly as it should be. In the last two years that feeling wasn't there, and I spoke about it. It showed in the team, in Max. But now Max is happy, everything is going very well."
