Formula 1 fans, buckle up because a storm is brewing on the racetrack as Max Verstappen’s rivals are no longer shying away from his aggressive overtaking tactics.

Renowned former F1 driver, Johnny Herbert, has boldly claimed that drivers are no longer afraid of Verstappen’s wheel-to-wheel combat skills. The recent showdown between George Russell and Verstappen at the Spanish Grand Prix has been pointed out as a prime example of this newfound courage among Verstappen’s competitors.

Despite Russell’s daring move that involved a slight brush with Verstappen’s car, Herbert commended the move as a “damn good” overtake. He emphasized that this willingness to challenge Verstappen head-on signifies a shift in the dynamics of F1 racing, where drivers are now more willing to take on the Red Bull superstar.

Herbert expressed his desire to see all drivers pushed to their limits, with Verstappen no longer enjoying a free pass due to his intimidating tactics. He highlighted the importance of seeing the best driver emerge victorious, hinting at a more competitive season ahead.

As the battle for supremacy heats up on the track, names like George Russell and Charles Leclerc are being thrown into the mix as potential contenders to disrupt the dominance of Verstappen and others. The stage is set for an electrifying season filled with unpredictable twists and turns as the drivers gear up to outshine each other on the asphalt.

Get ready for a nail-biting season of Formula 1 where no driver is safe from the relentless pursuit of victory. Stay tuned as the drama unfolds and rivalries ignite on the track, making every race a spectacle of speed, skill, and strategy.
