How Drive to Survive offered the first clues that all was not well with Max Verstappen in 2021...
Red Bull driver Max Verstappen revealed last week that he has “struggled with visibility problems” ever since his crash with Mercedes rival Lewis Hamilton at the 2021 British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
And he added that the situation came to a head later that season at the United States Grand Prix in Austin, where he struggled with blurred vision as he withstood a late charge from Hamilton to win by 1.333 seconds – a pivotal victory in his first title-winning campaign. Verstappen’s revelations came as a surprise to many in the F1 community, yet an unearthed scene from Season 4 of Drive to Survive first shone a light on the troubles the Dutch driver was experiencing in late 2021.
“The one place that you don’t want to feel bad at is in a Formula 1 car, particularly on a street circuit the speed of Saudi.” Verstappen set pole position at Yas Marina, but lost the lead to Hamilton within moments of the start of the race.
