Max Verstappen plans to maintain his aggressive driving style despite the controversy at the Mexican Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen unfazed by outcome of Mexican GP
Following the race, the reigning world champion asserted that he remained unconcerned about the championship despite Norris’s performance. The Red Bull driver emphasized his intention not to make things easy on-track for any of his competitors.
This demonstrates that Max Verstappen remains steadfast in his approach to wheel-to-wheel battles. While he may have pushed the limits too far in Mexico, the 27-year-old Dutch driver typically avoids breaking any rules. At the US Grand Prix, Verstappen narrowly escaped repercussions after a similar encounter with Lando Norris.
Ultimately, the reigning world champion maintains a solid 47-point lead going into the last four races. Max Verstappen understands that Norris is likely to be the first to back down, given his disadvantage in this battle. Consequently, as a Red Bull star, Verstappen has more flexibility when it comes to engaging in such close on-track confrontations.
Max Verstappen, known for his aggressive maneuvers in high-pressure situations, has no intention of altering his driving style even over the long term. It remains to be seen whether Lando Norris can overcome the Dutch driver’s aggression on-track to claim the 2024 F1 world title.
