Martin Brundle believes he can predict when Max Verstappen will retire from Formula 1. The current world champion has been honest about not wanting to continue racing in his thirties, like other drivers. He mentioned the extensive F1 calendar and his interest in other racing series as possible reasons to end his career. However, Brundle, former F1 driver and current commentator for Sky Sports F1, suggests that fans should not worry about Verstappen’s retirement until he loses his passion for winning. Brundle praises Verstappen’s motivation and love for the sport as the main factors that keep him in competition.
Brundle admires Verstappen’s determination to stay on top, regardless of the obstacles he may face. He is confident that Verstappen will come back even stronger and motivated for the next race in Japan. Verstappen’s hunger for victory is what drives him to keep moving forward.
After Verstappen’s early retirement in the Australian Grand Prix due to a rear brake failure, he expressed frustration and disappointment. Red Bull Racing consultant, Dr. Helmut Marko, explains that Verstappen believed he could keep up with the leaders, including Ferrari, and fight for the win. Despite the challenges presented by Ferrari’s strong performance, Verstappen would be confident in his dominant RB20 car.
The question now is whether Ferrari will be able to prevent Verstappen from making a comeback in the next race.
