Max Verstappen names his one dream F1 teammate – and it’s not a current driver…

-

Max Verstappen opted against naming a legend like Aryton Senna or Michael Schumacher when asked to name his one dream F1 teammate.

He steered clear of current or ex-Red Bull drivers like Sergio Perez or Daniel Ricciardo and certainly didn’t name rivals like Lewis Hamilton or George Russell.

“For me, personally? Dream team? If I could bring people back to their normal racing [age], it would be my dad,” Verstappen told Sky.

“For me, personally, that’s my dream team.”

“His career didn’t go to plan. It had a lot of potential. He knew what went wrong.”

Jos Verstappen drove in eight F1 seasons, across three spells, representing Benetton, Simtek, Footwork, Tyrrell, Stewart, Arrows, and Minardi.

In his debut year in 1994, he drove alongside Schumacher for Benetton.

Jos Verstappen has since become a big presence in the paddock as the driving force behind his son’s rise.

“He knew it was very important to have the right people around you, from a young age, to guide you in the right way. That’s what he did with me,” Max said.

“From what happened in his career, from what went wrong, he tried to prevent me having [the same].

“That’s why he prepared me in a very professional way from a  young age to be ready for certain scenarios.”

Virat Kohli’s Sachin Tendulkar-like gritty knock gave India hope before it was snatched away

-
Image
  Virat Kohli  stood there dazed, frozen, disbelieving what his ears and eyes told him. The LED stump lights were flashing after he had inside-edged Pat Cummins onto his stumps. A roaring Australian captain had long run past him. For some reason, Kohli had a despairing look towards square-leg before he reluctantly began to drag himself away from the crime scene. On a very sluggish pitch where every batsman is bound to struggle, he had played a peach of a knock, but couldn’t convert it to a substantial contribution. Later in the innings, a reverse-swinging away-shaper from Mitchell Starc would consume  KL Rahul , and the Indian innings began to meander. The hosts huffed and puffed to an inadequate 240, being bowled out for the first, and only, time in the World Cup. That the Indians managed just four boundaries after the first Powerplay indicated how much control the Australians exuded. The over a lakh Indian fans, who had for over a month got used to India’s overwhelming ...

 McLaren  looks set for another tough start to a Formula One season after missing car development targets over the winter. McLaren started 2022 on the back foot after encountering brake issues in the Bahrain preseason test and has had a quiet start to the same test this year, which runs until Saturday. At the launch of its new car the team admitted it was not entirely happy with the launch specification design and CEO Zak Brown has said he is braced for the team being off its target in the competitive order when the season starts in Bahrain on March 5. When asked where he anticipated McLaren would start the year, Brown said: “It’s hard to know until we get going. We already set some goals for development, which we didn’t hit. “We felt it was better to be honest about that. Like everyone we have a lot of development coming so we are encouraged by what we see around the corner. I think we will be going into the first race of our projected targets and it’s hard to know exactly wh...
