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.

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.
