Nine seasonal wins for Max Verstappen, who is aiming for the big prize at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen is still hungry. The four-time world champion, fresh off his commanding victory in Qatar, isn’t satisfied and wants to close the season with another win, his tenth of the season. A victory in Abu Dhabi would mark Verstappen‘s fourth consecutive season with double-digit wins.
Max, interviewed ahead of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, made the following statements: ““Qatar was an exciting race, and it was nice to win again. The car was much easier to drive, and it was a great performance from the whole team. We’ve reached the last race of the season, and Abu Dhabi always brings back good memories.
It’s been a long season, and we’re ready to take a break and spend some time at home with family and friends. The team has worked really hard this season, and everyone deserves a rest once the season is over. It would be great to finish the season on a high note and try to bring home the victory here. “.
Verstappen, unintentionally, could become an important ally for Ferrari in the Constructors’ Championship. The twenty-one points separating Ferrari from McLaren are significant but not insurmountable, and a possible third-place finish for the Dutchman, in a hypothetical Ferrari one-two, could secure the title that has eluded Maranello for 16 years.
