'Max was a young guy then and Ricciardo really good, a qualifying beast...' F1
Jos Verstappen has revealed the team-mate his son Max learnt most from was the “qualifying beast” Daniel Ricciardo.
Indeed, it was only once Sergio Perez signed on, that Red Bull seemed to find an adequate replacement for Ricciardo with both Alex Albon and Pierre Gasly not lasting long as team-mate to Verstappen. “I also think the car suited him well then and that’s a bit Ricciardo’s problem now. The car doesn’t suit him so well. There are things that don’t suit Ricciardo so well and that’s why it’s not coming out.
For starters, he would have had a car that suited him. It is often said that Verstappen’s driving style and preferences towards how the car is set-up can be a killer for his team-mate but Ricciardo proved that he can also make that style work for him.
