Zak Brown, McLaren boss, describes Max Verstappen as a horror movie character who refuses to be defeated. Verstappen is in an intense battle for the drivers’ championship.
The competition is fierce, with Verstappen facing McLaren drivers, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. Before the Qatar Grand Prix, Verstappen and Piastri are 24 points behind Norris.
In September, Verstappen was 104 points behind the leader, but he has staged one of the most impressive comebacks in the history of Formula 1.
It’s like that guy in a horror movie, just when you think he won’t come back, he’s back!
