Max Verstappen has “better nerves” for the 2021 finale than fellow championship protagonist Lewis Hamilton. He told ORF: “I think Max is the cooler of the two. Red Bull’s Verstappen is 19 points ahead with four races to go, and Berger favours the Dutchman to not buckle under the pressure of retaining that lead until Abu Dhabi. Verstappen commented similarly: “Things can go wrong or go right very quickly.”. And the pressure on Verstappen to make sure things ‘go right’ in Brazil and beyond is immense. “Sometimes Mercedes has an advantage this year, but in general I think we have the better package with Max and Red Bull,” Marko said.
