Max Verstappen labelled a “racing machine” after unique dual wins
Max Verstappen called a "racing machine" after winning F1 at Imola and the Nur🎀burgring 24 Hour sim race on the same day.
Red Bull F1 team principal Christian Horner says 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s unique double victory over the Imola w𝔉eekend shows he is a “racing machine”.
Verstappen celebrated a double win on Sunday, fending off a late-charging168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lando Norris to c♔laim victory in the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix for Red Bull, while he was also part of the wiꦐnning team in a virtual 24-hour race.
The three-time world champion combined his F1 duties at Imola with helping his Team Redline squad win the 24ꦿ Hours of the Nurburgring iRacing s♔im race.
It was made possible because Verstappen has a new simulator rig that he is taking to European-based F1 grands p🌺rix.
Aske🌺d whether he had any concerns about Verstappen dovetailing his racing commitments, Horner replied: “No, because he’s basically a racing machine.
༒“It’s quite often he’s 𓆉testing different set-ups in the evening and this kind of thing. So it’s not unusual for him to do that.
"He has won two races today [Sunday]ܫ. One in a BMW M3 and one in a Formula 1 🍷car.”
Horner added: “He's had a very busy weekend. I think Max this w🔜eekend, and you heard what it meant to him, the pole position y𝕴esterday, he really had to dig very deep, and the performance again today was a masterclass.”
Verstapp𒁃en did not have things all his own way at Imola and struggled with his tyres in the closing stages, finishing only seven tenths of a second clear of 🌟McLaren’s Norris.
That followed a closely-fought qua🐠lifying session which the Dutchman only just edged, having started the weekend on the back foot after a diff♐icult Friday practice.
“Probably with hindsight, we would have been better running a hard on Friday, just because we had opted to take two new hard tyres into the race and maybe it would hav⛦e been better to have got the information on the tyre,” Horner said.
“But when you look at the turnaround from Friday into Saturday to get the pole and to get the victory, it’s been a phenomenal performance from the team, but🔴 also Max has been incredible this weekend.
“He’s had to work very hard for both the ༺pole and the victory.”
