Max Verstappen labelled a “racing machine” after unique dual wins
Max Verstappen called a "racing 🧔machine" after winning F1 at Imola and the Nurburgring 24 Hour sim racไe on the same day.
Red Bull F1 team principal Christian Horner says 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen’s uniq𝓡ue double victory over the Imola weekend shows he is a “racing machine”.
Verstappen celebrated a double win on Sunday, fending off a late-charging168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Lando Norris to claim victory in the Emi💖lia Romagna Grand Prix for Red Bull, while he was also part of the winning team in a virtual 24-hour race.
The three-time world champion combined his F1 duties at ꧑Imola with helping his Team Redline squad win the 24 Hours of the Nurburgring iRacing sim race.
It was made possible because Verstappen has a new simulator rig that he is taking to 🐭European-based F1 grands 𓆏prix.
Asked whether ꦏhe had any concerns about Verstappen dovetailing his racing commitments, Horner replied: “No, because he’s basically a racing machine.
“It’s qu𒁏ite often he’s testing 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 [Sun💜day]🧔. One in a BMW M3 and one in a Formula 1 car.”
Horner added: “He's had a very busy wee💮kend. I think Max this weekend, and you heard what 𓄧it meant to him, the pole position yesterday, he really had to dig very deep, and the performance again today was a masterclass.”
Verstappen did not have things all his own way at Imola and strugg🦄led with his tyres in the closing stages, finishing only seven tenths of a second clear of McLaren’s Norris.
That followed a closely-fought qualifying session which the Dutchman only just edged, having started the weekend on the back foot after 𒊎a difficult Friday practice.
“Probably with hindsight, we would have b𓄧een better running a hard on Friday, just because we had opted to take two new hard tyres into the race and maybe it would have 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 al꧋so Max has been incredible🅺 this weekend.
“He’s had to work very hard ෴for bo🧸th the pole and the victory.”
