Max Verstappen has a reputation for being a controversial gentleman both on and off the racetrack, not always thinking before he acts.
And although he has improved significantly over the past two seasons, is still something of the old, and the hot-tempered Verstappen saved in him.
It assesses the Ekstra Formula 1 expert, Jason Watts, after this weekend’s Grand Prix in Mexico, where the Dutch star, among other things overtook a competitor under the yellow flag and at the same time, drove right to the limit throughout the race.
– It was not cleverly done. And it was also a crazy way to comment on it at the press conference afterwards. He should have stuck a white lie, about that he saw the flag or something else, writes Watt in his chat with Extra Magazine’s readers.
– the Rest of his weekend was not very wise from Verstappens page. He did not have his head properly screwed on this time.
– First he pushed Hamilton more than good was. So he made a not very well thought out overtaking on Bottas. You can figure out that Bottas would get DRS and blow by again on the bleachers. So he was in the infight with Kevin, which again was run a little clumsy, explains Watt.
the Promptness fails, however, nothing with Max Verstappen. Therefore, it is not hollænderens skills behind a steering wheel, but the mentality, as Jason Watts continues to sow doubt in the Red Bull star.
Verstappen is inspired behind a steering wheel and is also much more mature the last two years. But yesterday (Sunday, red.) it was the old Verstappen, we saw. He was too much the old, wild Box.

Worst of all
Seen with Danish glasses, it was not a flashy weekend for Kevin Magnussen and the rest of the Haas team, and the us team has a lot of work ahead of him, if they will not be the worst in the F1 field, reads the message from Watts.
– I think Haas need to tighten the bow in order not to be ’worst of the rest’ in fight with Williams.
The sad thing is that the team does not have any idea about how to solve the problem which is in basisdesignet of the car.

Difficult conditions
Kevin Magnussen has secured the contract for next year with the Haas. However, the dane will have to change the team, if he still wants to reach the top and become the world champion, as he previously has told me that he dreams about.
– If he will be world champion, so I totally agree that he needs to find a second team, the equivalent of Watts in cash on the issue of Kevin Magnussens ambitions.
– no matter how good you are, and how much you are in front of the teamkammeraten, so it’s just hard to shine in a car, which is the næstdårligste in the field, saith the Watt.
He stresses, however, that prospects for a change for Kevin Magnussen can be long, as the dane did not stand at the front of the queue when one of the big teams need to find their new drivers for the upcoming season.
