Is Verstappen the most polarising man in F1, ponders JB

- JETHRO BOVINGDON

I really don’t want to start too far into Natalie's territory here. She is informed and immersed in the world of F1. I just watch on the TV at home. However, I think it’s time to reassess Max Verstappen. Not his skill as a driver nor the relentless, high energy style that dazzles spectators and destroys team mates. He is a genius behind the wheel, up there with the greatest of all time. That is fact, undisputed and undeniable. And I love watching him extract (or should that be invent?) performance through sheer force of will. But as a bloke he has, up to now, been mostly pretty hard to like.
