In a tweet, he said, “Max did a good thing tonight. Media session was delayed. After 20 minutes he emerged but was whisked away again after 2. But he refused. Came back and made sure we all got a question. Might not have done that last year. Mature awareness of expectation on him.”

The 21-year old has matured a lot since his F1 debut back in 2015 as a Toro Rosso driver. Many have often perceived him as arrogant but now, his general attitude seems to be improving.

As of now, Verstappen and his new teammate, Pierre Gasly are currently in the penultimate day of testing. All 10 teams are anxiously going ahead with their plans and gathering as much data as possible.
