This is believed by a former driver of the Milton Keynes team like Mark Webber, now manager of Oscar Piastri: “If you look at sport as a whole, it needs characters like Verstappen – he commented to RacingNews365.com – we need these people. People tune in because of Max Verstappen“.
Attention to his future
Those who are certain of this, according to Webber’s opinion, are also the top management of Liberty Media, holder of the Formula 1 rights. Additionally, the results achieved so far by Verstappen allow the Dutchman to make decisions about his future in the Circus fully on merit: “The teams also know it: it is important, fundamental that Max stays in Formula 1, because he motivates every driver on the grid and that is the beauty of Formula 1. You have to be constantly motivated. Of course, I want Max to stay in Formula 1, but if the incentives decrease – and I certainly do not mean to imply that he is losing motivation – then the motivation will gradually fade. He has an enormous record, he has achieved results year after year, and this gives him the freedom to choose“.
