Helmut Marko, Red Bull F1 Motorsports Advisor, said that Jos Verstappen’s relatively unsuccessful career in his F1 career was a detrimental misjudgment by Max Verstappen, who won the F1 World Champion’s crown. He says it helps to prevent him from committing.
Jos Verstappen made his F1 debut in Benetton in 1994 as Michael Schumacher’s teammate. Schumacher won his first F1 World Champion, but Verstappen finished the season in 10th place with two podium finishes.
After that, Jos Verstappen traveled with Footwork, Simtek, Stewart, Tyrrell, Arrows and Minardi and participated in 106 races, but did not recover until he finally left F1.
However, Helmut Marko believes that his father’s lack of success indirectly benefits his son Max Verstappen, who has already won an F1 title at the age of 24.
“We need to see it from the beginning. His father, Joss, was a successful F1 driver and a fast driver,” Helmut Marko told Serbus TV.
“He used all his knowledge to raise his son to avoid mistakes.”
Max Verstappen was unable to succeed with repeated team transfers, but Helmut Marko was able to switch to a long-term focus for several years on a machine where Max Max couldn’t challenge the F1 title. After spending time, I think I finally got a chance.
“It worked,” Helmut Marko said, explaining that Joss and Max “gradually worked towards the title” showed the culmination of many years of loyalty to Red Bull F1.
But it wasn’t always a simple voyage, Helmut Marko revealed, saying that Jos Verstappen’s practical approach wasn’t ideal when Red Bull began to train Max Verstappen.
“It was a little difficult at first, but then he got to the backseat,” Helmut Marko said, saying that the relationship between Red Bull and Verstappen Familt is now in harmony.
Max Verstappen says he wants to stay in Red Bull “forever” after the F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and recently Helmut Marko has revealed that he plans to start negotiations with Verstappen to extend his current contract until 2023. I have to.
