Alain Prost praises Verstappen for his frank character

Max Verstappen, when F1 arrived in Las Vegas promoting itself and promoting the "show of the century", he had the courage to go in front of the microphones and declare that he didn't like the whole circus around him, that racing was the only thing that interested him and that he felt like a clown doing certain theatrics. Words which, uttered by the dominator of the moment, slightly embarrassed Liberty Media.

The champion of Red BullBut that's how it is. Outspoken, arrogant enough, focused exclusively on the track, frank and direct, little character, very "racer". The three-time world champion's approach has earned the praise of Alain Prost, the Professor, legend of the category. The four-time world champion said he appreciated the fact that Max is a spontaneous, unconstructed, sincere and not very politicized rider.

“I like Verstappen a lot because he is different from the others in how he thinks and how he speaks – Prost's words reported by GPFans.com -. Even in Las Vegas he was focused exclusively on the track and on winning. People may like it or not, but you have to recognize that it has a different approach. For me it's positive to have a rider like him, I was also very pleased to hear his ideas on sprint races. He says what he thinks and doesn't care about politics. I like".
