A lot has changed in F1 in recent seasons, and Formula_Nerds have looked at the reigning champion's role in the current rules of engagement being written.
Max Verstappen’s raw speed is not up for debate – and hasn’t been for some time – but his ability when it comes to wheel-to-wheel racing is more contentious.The Dutchman made an immediate mark on Formula 1. Within a year and a half of his debut, he had already broken numerous records, whilst his approach to racing had also seen a new rule introduced.
The more egregious manoeuvre was the second, though. Verstappen swerved in front of Räikkönen as he went to move alongside on the same straight a lap later. A move which provoked Martin Brundle to say simply “you can’t do that”.Charles Leclerc sends daggers in the direction of Max Verstappen after their race-deciding collision.
Having hunted down long-term leader Charles Leclerc – still searching for his maiden win – Verstappen somewhat rudely barged the Ferrari off track on lap 69 of 71, claiming the lead and subsequently the victory. Whether or not those in power feared another backlash if they penalised Verstappen, their decision set a precedent.This was never clearer than during last year’s fiery title battle between Verstappen and Hamilton.
