Former "Formula 1" driver, now expert and analyst Ralf Schumacher said that the victory of 27-year-old four-time "Formula 1" champion and "Red Bull" driver Max Verstappen at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix was unexpected for him.
Idman.biz reports that before the Grand Prix, Ralf Schumacher claimed that Max would have difficulty winning on this track.
"Verstappen's victory in Azerbaijan is the biggest surprise for me. But in any case, what do I care about what I said before? Of course, I have to take my word back!
I didn't expect it because in previous years Sergio Perez (on this track) was close to Verstappen. Last year he performed better in qualifying, which rarely happens with Max. True, the car at that time was not so good either.
Everything was just great for Max. His performance was of course magnificent, but "Red Bull" also did a great job. According to the numbers, Max had a great race, even compared to other pilots," - the "Racingnews365" portal quotes Schumacher.
