Bernie Ecclestone, the former Formula 1 boss, seems to be quite a fan of Max Verstappen. The elderly Brit believes that Formula 1 Verstappen ‘may be grateful’ and hopes that the Dutchman can break more records.
After the remarkable course of events on Sunday with teammate Sergio Pérez, Max Verstappen is currently the target of criticism, but not from former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone. The Briton is not averse to a bit of controversy and believes that Verstappen deserves loads of praise. “Formula 1 has to thank Max Verstappen. He does what he has to do; just race. The fans have wanted to see someone like that for a long time,” he says. The Telegraph on. According to Ecclestone, the effect that Verstappen has on the fans is clearly visible in the Netherlands, because without Verstappen there would have been no Dutch GP at Zandvoort, according to Ecclestone.
Ecclestone, it is well known, does not like ‘polished’ characters and in that respect a person like Verstappen is better up his alley. Unlike someone like Lewis Hamilton, about whom Ecclestone often criticized in the past. The 92-year-old hopes that Verstappen will break Hamilton’s record and take more world titles. “If Red Bull gets its act together, I don’t see why it can’t keep winning. Whether Max will break the record of seven world titles? Who knows, let’s hope so.”
