Max Verstappen has a huge lead in the championship, but it doesn't feel like an easy F1 season for the Dutchman. Every race weekend has been exciting and Max expects the same for the Italian Grand Prix.
With a 109-point lead in the championship and ten wins, you could say Verstappen has been extremely dominant in 2022, but nothing is what it seems. While the difference in the championship is huge, it was not the case in every race. According to Verstappen, every race this season has been exciting.
Verstappen not extra relaxed
''Except for one or two races it was always exciting. It was always a question of whether I would win or not. In that respect I experienced the races in the same way as last year, only then we competed with a different team'', Verstappen said prior to the Italian GP to the AD.
The lead does not make Verstappen more relaxed. ''I'm always relaxed'', jokes the Red Bull Racing driver. Verstappen will continue to see things from race to race and will now focus on the Monza race first. There he wants to win for the first time, in front of the Tifosi who will be cheering for his Ferrari rivals.
