Max Verstappen realizes he`s back in the Formula 1 title fight and, according to Ted Kravitz, is ready to “pounce like a lion” on Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris. Last Sunday, Verstappen secured his second consecutive victory with a dominant performance in Azerbaijan. This decisive win occurred as championship leader Piastri crashed out, and his McLaren teammate, Norris, finished only seventh.
Consequently, Verstappen, who is aiming for a fifth consecutive championship title, reduced his deficit to Piastri to 69 points with seven rounds remaining this season, and is now just 44 points behind Norris. In a recent F1 show, Kravitz expressed confidence that Verstappen is in an ideal position to pressure the McLaren drivers, both of whom are competing for their first championship title. “He knows he`s back in the game because he has the car, that`s the thing,” Kravitz emphasized.
