Max Verstappen has been unbeatable this season. The Dutch lion has secured 11 victories this season and has a massive 335 points total in the Drivers’ Championship. What’s more? He’s been so incredible this season that he might be crowned as World Champion again at the Singapore Grand Prix.

The secret behind this, however, has recently been revealed by his manager Raymond Vermeulen. Vermeulen and Jos Verstappen have been seen at GPs every weekend. Verstappen‘s performances have been a testament to this fact. However, there’s more to it, according to Vermeulen.

He further explained how they ensure Verstappen performs at his peak at every race weekend. “We try to arrange everything around it as best as possible, but the most important thing remains Max’s performance on the track.

He also spoke and elaborated about the long-term. “We have big ambitions and we are very busy realizing those ambitions, at the moment we are working on a schedule that actually runs until 2028.”
