collected Max Verstappen has put himself in the perfect position for a second
world championship win.
The Track This podcast team weigh in.
In Formula
One anything can happen, and all the pieces fell into place for Red Bull and
Max Verstappen last weekend at the Belgium GP. After a grid penalty for
changing of engine parts Verstappen fought through the pack from 14th to win
his ninth Grand Prix of 2022.
Brent Vd Schyff, Motoring and Motorsport Journalist from TopGear South Africa explained, “He had an absolutely perfect weekend, no one could touch him. He did it in such a calm manner it’s like he was checking his emails and reading a newspaper at the same time.”
On the
other hand Gary Formato, Motorsport Analyst, expressed in the latest episode of Track This how this could affect
the other drivers. “What was quite daunting for everyone else, is how calm he
was when he went through the pack. Max is normally quite aggressive and forceful
in his driving, and he was very calm.”
After this
stellar performance, all Verstappen needs is four wins from the remaining eight
races to win his second world championship title.

think everyone in the crowd with the orange smoke is secretly supporting the
papayas.”
