Well, there’s no news about the fact that Nico Rosberg is regular with his podcasts. Isn’t it? In a recent piece of his podcast, where the German was joined by his former team boss, Toto Wolff, among the various things that were discussed was the current Red Bull driver, Max Verstappen.

Max Verstappen, it ought to be said, is among the finest and fastest drivers on the grid. Only recently did he get off to a fine start in 2019, by bringing home 15 useful points for his Red Bull outfit in the form of a P3 at Albert Park, Melbourne Grand Prix.

But Nico holds the view that “If you look up ‘narcissist’ in the dictionary, you will find Max Verstappen.”

He would go on to further add, “Still, it works for him because he has a lot of talent. And because of that, he is still successful. Being extremely narcissistic can be a force, and perhaps the most powerful characteristic you can have.”

Now while one can’t really hold a specific opinion about Nico’s feelings, since these are, after all, his own, what can’t be denied is that there may be a few who may not disagree with the German. As fast as he is on the track, Verstappen’s often aggressive and temperamental nature have afforded him a fair share of critics as well.
