Verstappen enjoyed the victory in Miami the most

The reigning champion has picked up where he left off in the second half of 2022 in the first half of 2022: and is clearly dominating the King’s and Championship races as well. He won ten of the twelve races, finishing second twice behind teammate Sergio Pérez, who started the year strongly and who has been consistently behind him since Miami.

For this reason, many people consider the American race a turning point, as Verstappen, who jumped from ninth place to first, broke the momentum of his colleague, who snatched first place from him by overtaking him on the track.

Before the summer break, Verstappen himself described the win in Miami as the highlight of his season so far. “It’s hard to choose. “There were a lot of nice things, and there was also a lot smoother.” RaceFans quoted the Dutchman as saying. “The one I really enjoy is Miami. It’s a tough track and it’s hard to get past the field as well. But the whole race went well.”

“This good run came after a tough qualifying session. So, it was a very enjoyable race for me.” – The Dutchman, who started last time, also in Belgium, from a less favorable starting position, continued from sixth place, climbed to the top and took victory.

“That was good too, and the last one in Hungary. There are a lot of nice races. I think we also improved as a team in the first half of the year. As for me, I feel more comfortable in the car. It all depends on the little details. So, Overall, there were a lot of fun moments (in the first semester). It will be difficult to choose one.” Highlight.

As for Verstappen’s current form: the Dutchman has now taken eight consecutive victories, meaning he could soon equal Sebastian Vettel’s record. While he is ahead of Perez in the standings by 125 points, that is, with five victories in the race.
