Speaking about his own driver, Marko praised Max Verstappen‘s improved maturity this season.
He said, “Max is more relaxed than it has been for a long time. He just wasn’t relaxed in qualifying [in Portimao] because he took pole and they took that away from him. This is the most mature Max we’ve ever had.”
