INSIDE STORY: Spin And Win: Max Verstappen's Charge From P10

Starting P10 on the grid after a frustrating technical issue brought an early end to Max Verstappen's qualifying, the chance of the Dutchman winning looked to be quite small. However, what took place at the 2022 Hungarian Grand Prix was the stuff of legends, with an incredible recovery drive from the Red Bull driver!

Max’s Engineer is the biggest star I believe, so calm and reassuring is his voice. And Max just executing the drive perfectly. Brilliant Red Bull

GP is one of the best race engineers in the game. Always clear, calm, and collected. Tells Max only the information he needs.

Inside Stories are way better than Drive To Survive, We need more of these. 🤩

Huge shoutout to the redbull’s chief strategist. undercutting cars at just the right time to give max those extra track positions. Efficient and effective. Bravo!

[hattorihonzo]

This race will be the blueprint teams study in the future for how to properly undercut/execute an outlap. Incredible

[tuartGuy]

Max & Red Bull are just a really potent combination, wasn't a crazy race but Max & the car were fast & the team were efficient & executed the correct stategy well. Overtook when he had too & the team undercut cars at the perfect time to put him into the lead. Nothing massively spectacular, just quick & efficient while others didn't get it quite right.

[whoo]

Max being so unbelievably fast on his outlap won him the race. Incredibly drive and even a greater driver.

This race is another reason why I find it so hard to understand why people hate Verstappen and think he isn't a great driver. He's one of the best we've ever seen in the sport. EVER. The dude is freaking talented.

[wilsonmcc]

Whether you want to believe it or not, Max is an incredible driver, backed up by the best team in the paddock. Red Bull’s strategy and composure is next level

[sdtok]

Max his engineer sounds calm, collected and fully in control.

The Ferrari engineers sound confused and panicked even when simple questions are asked.

[mixxxter]

Since winning the wdc you can see how much more mature he is. Calm and collected, and showing he’s one of the greats

[santinopecorella]

Even with Clutch problems and a 360 spin, he managed to win this race, he is an incredible driver and I hope he keeps driving for a long time

[migy]

Incredible performance by the entire RB team. I love the way Max’s engineer is so calm and clear on the radio. Different story at the red team.

[austinjestis]

What’s crazy is when GP told him to keep the gap to Sainz in front at 2.5 when he was charging up to him rapidly he did just that. I was watching the timing and scoring and he was constant at 2.4-2.5 for 6-8 laps steady. Pretty cool.

[calmboy]

Max and fast outlaps is an underrated love story.

[lovegaming]

And this is why Max is one of the biggest talent from the last 15/20 years. People can say whatever they want about Max, but he woke up F1! If you love F1, you can't deny Max, but just enjoy this man 🙏🏻

[PhilipJFry-tmve]

Hate him or love him he’s an incredible driver I honestly didn’t think he would catch up let alone win after that spin but he quickly recovered kept his cool and still managed to push to p1. I don’t think I can wait another 2 weeks for spa I just hope it’s not raining like last year and they have to cancel the race after a 4 hour broadcast.

[ayushkumarsinha]

My guy won the race after:

1. Having a really bad Q3
2. Clutch slips
3. A circuit with no overtakes and less favourable for RB engines...
4. Did a fricking 360!!

But at the end he is Max Verstappen in Red Bull so basically that's not even close to stop him to cross the line first!! WAY TO GO SUPER MAX!!!

[e-sir]

"Who is that in front?"
"Leclerc"
"Checo needs to move aside"
That is a lion smelling blood.

[mayureshbhattu]

Communication between Max and GP is incredible. GP gives precise and useful information. He listens to Max's frustration and calms him down. On the current grid, no driver engineer combo has this synergy.
