Max Verstappen Reveals One Supernatural Quality That Gives Him an Edge Over the Rest of the Grid

Lewis Hamilton has the ability to turn himself up and get into a different god-like state when he’s fighting for the championship. It’s almost like he has a switch that makes him twice the driver. Max Verstappen recently revealed his superpower, which helped him become the dominant driver that he is now. The supernatural quality gives the Dutchman a competitive edge over the grid. Let’s find out what the supernatural quality is all about.

Max Verstappen has been a different beast ever since winning the 2021 Abu Dhabi GP and championship along with it. The way Max Verstappen has been driving the RB19 feels almost supernatural. The Dutchman got noticed because of his reactions and his ability to save the car when he pushed it beyond the limit. However, as Max Verstappen gives detail about his vision, we understand why he is able to make those supernatural saves and is so good in the RB19.

Talking about his performance, Max Verstappen recently revealed one of his strengths that helps him out massively, giving him an advantage over the grid. While going at 200+ mph, multiple decisions need to be made in split seconds. Verstappen explains his guiding eye and how it helps him apprehend the corner better. This provides him with a better understanding of the angle and the speed with which a corner needs to be approached. 

According to motorsport.nextgen-auto.com, Max Verstappen said, “You have one guiding eye on the other, which has an influence on things. But yes, I think it’s more a question of the shape of the turns. No matter if it’s on the left or right, it’s just the speed or the angle, the degrees. I know how to apprehend them only with my guiding eye, You see it well, if you already put your hand in front of your eyes, there is a small difference, so you always see a little better with one eye. And I have the impression that sometimes, you can better look at the turn on the right rather than on the left, in my case.”

Despite this massive advantage, Sergio Perez has been giving Max Verstappen somewhat of a challenge this year. F1 Journalists explain the dynamic between the two as Imola GP gets canceled.

Imola’s absence will be critical for Max Verstappen as Sergio Perez turns up the heat.

Max Verstappen did not expect Checo to step up this year. The Mexican beat Verstappen in Jeddah and Baku based purely on his pace and nothing else. This race pace suggested that the title fight is going to go down to the wire. Peter Windsor explained how Imola would’ve been a strong track for Max Verstappen and if things get tight toward the end of the season, the Dutchman would definitely miss the absence of Emilia Romagna GP. 

According to F1Maximaal, Peter Windsor said, “What would Max think now? One less race for me to win? There is no doubt that this was more of a Max circuit than a Checo circuit, so this is more disadvantageous for Verstappen. If these two guys[Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez] get close in terms of points towards the end of the year – and that’s a big assumption of course – then Max will feel the pain of being absent from the race in Imola.”
