🗣️ Isack on Max: “I'm probably facing the prime of the prime of the level you can achieve in Formula 1 and he’s just next to me in the garage. To experience this at my age, this early in my career, I'm one very, very lucky guy,"
"He's a very, very kind guy. We get along really well. It's good to work with him. I'm grateful because he gives me so much to work with, to improve, which probably no one else can give. So just for that, I'm thankful and it's great.
“I would say it’s exactly what I expected Max Verstappen to be on the track. I had an idea of how good he was and it translates really well. What I have in my mind that I want to achieve on track, he kind of does it. But there's always a difference between what you're aiming to do and what you actually deliver.
"There's always a little gap sometimes, but he's constant, he doesn't like really have low moments. I would say, it's just like no mistake. He's always at the right time, the right place as well. He creates his own luck a bit.
"But I love the challenge. I love going into every session knowing that he's going to set a benchmark that I need to match and I need to overcome. It's just exciting. It changes from everything I've had my whole career.
“Let's say on a track, you have like 15 corners and maybe there's one corner you master, or two, three, four, five corners, you do really, really well. But he matches you there and then on the others, he keeps that same level.
"And then over the lap, he makes the lap time difference. I wouldn't say I look at the data and I'm like, ‘I can't reproduce this.’ It's how often he does it. That makes the big difference at the end. It's like he has no peak, it’s flat. It's up there, but it's flat. It's what makes him such a tough driver.”
아니 걍 웃긴 게 팀메랑 성적 비교 당했다고, 4챔이랑 성적 비교 당했다고 후려치기에 헤이팅 취급하는데 그럼 맨날 재수땜에 같이 비벼지고 지들땜에 엮이는 우린 얼마나 좆같겠냐고 역지사지 존나 안돼 이거 억울하다면서 33주제에 그런 추월을 생각했을리 없다고 하는 게 빡치는 건 왜 모르지?
