Helmut Marko

Max is the perfect son-in-law for, I think, every mother.

But once he's in the car, he's a different person.

And he doesn't have any compromise.

He goes for it, looks like he did Imola, his manoeuvre, and also he's overtaking.

He's watching the guy and poof, and he overtakes.

Some of the other drivers, they try left, they try right, and so on.

So his commitment is an absolute one.

Quite massive, but that came together with Laurent.

He's a very good engineer.

Besides also that he can work with the people in a very communicative way.

And they both, I would say, installed a new way of going into the details or simply saying the numbers in the simulator is not what matters anymore.

It matters what the stopwatch shows.

That means to get out the maximum of the car, the driver can rely on it.

And it's not on such a small edge that only Max can drive it.

So if he doesn't have the confidence, he can't go to the limit like he does at the moment.

His feel and car control is what makes a difference.

You know, we had the car, which was very loose in the rear.

Chekhov was lifting.

And if you ask Marcus, maybe it's a little bit unstable.

But he still was on full throttle.
