The words of Max Verstappen

During qualifying for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, Max Verstappen made one of his rare mistakes of 2023. The Dutch driver's track engineer exchanged brief banter over the radio with the team principal, asking Verstappen to admit he hit the wall.

Despite the front wing damage caused by the driver exiting the race pits, Verstappen è turned out to be the cleanest driver in this special ranking, with only 345 thousand euros of damage in all 22 race weekends. Experienced team mechanics immediately returned the car to the garage, preventing Verstappen from making the run.

This mistake did not, however, però prevent the driver from taking pole position. An episode that demonstrates the level of professionalismà and attention needed in this highly competitive environment. The talented driver Max Verstappen, with an outstanding record of 19 wins out of 22 races, has made very few mistakes during the 2023 Formula 1 season.

"Finishing on the wall in Qualifying at Silverstone è was my biggest mistake of 2023, è it was quite embarrassing – he admitted in an end-of-season interview with the well-known Blick magazine – in Singapore, on the other hand, I made a mistake at the tuning level".
