Max Verstappen is turning into a journalist’s dream subject as the Dutch teenager is constantly in the thick of things be it on track or in the paddock where he has as many fans ans he has detractors, but this does bot perturb the Red Bull driver who is only too happy that people are talking about him.
Speaking ahead of the Malaysian Grand Prix, Verstappen said, “I always consider it a positive when you are a talking point in F1. Even when it is negative or positive, it doesn’t matter. As long as they are talking about you that’s good.”
“The attention doesn’t really affect me. For me the most important thing is to deliver on the track and that’s what I’m focusing on.”
“The things that changed for me since joining [Red Bull] is that it’s another level. It’s stepping up quite a big step, but it’s a bit difficult for me to comment on that because if you come in and win your first race then maybe people don’t believe that it’s such a big step, but it is.
“I’m still learning right now and getting to grips with the car better in every session. I think this year is a good learning school for me to get really well prepared for next year,” added Verstappen who turns 19 on Friday, day one of the Malaysian Grand Prix weekend.
