Max Verstappen won the Grand Prix of Abu Dhabi on Sunday and according to Jos Verstappen that went well. It was a boring race for the neutral viewer, but that is how Max's father wants them to be.
The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix was completely dominated by Verstappen, who was the fastest driver in qualifying and in the race. As a result, the Dutchman drove to victory with ease, although a safety car made it difficult for him for a while, Jos also saw the advantages of this.
Verstappen wins with ease
''On the one hand, it is dangerous because these are possibilities, but on the other hand, it prevented them (Mercedes) from doing undercut. When the second man of Mercedes goes inside, Max has to go inside as well, but because of that Safety Car they couldn't do that. Knowing Max, don't just let him eat the cheese off his bread either," said Jos on Peptalk.
Max said during the race that the engine could be reduced a bit and that says enough according to Jos. ''It indicates that it is an easy race for him. That's actually what he says. Maybe that's why it wasn't the most exciting race, but that's how I prefer to have them. As long as he wins."
