Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff raved about ‘amigo’ Max Verstappen | Motorsport

sport">“Max is doing fantastic,” said Wolff, who won the seventh consecutive constructors’ title with Mercedes in Imola. “How can I put it: it drives better than what the car is actually capable of. Every weekend we see three amigos driving in front. He always knows how to cling on. ”

sport">Mercedes drivers Lewis Hamilton, on his way to his seventh world title, and Valtteri Bottas have better material than the Red Bull Racing driver, but still have a lot to fear from Verstappen.

sport">Wolff – who may stop as team boss and continue in another position – knows that he must also be wary of Verstappen next season. “I think Honda wants to close their last year as an engine supplier well and will be extra motivated. That will also apply to Red Bull. And, last but not least, also for Max. ”
