An impressive US GP drive to finish second
Max Verstappen would not have forgotten the dying moments of the 2017 US Grand Prix, would he?
In fact, truth be told, it would've taken an excellent handling of mental pressure and anxiety on his part to have forgotten the events that took place at Turn 17 during the final lap of the 56-lap contest.
Wondering why?
It was at this particular part of the beautiful Circuit of the Americas track where Verstappen, running in fourth in 2017, managed to pass the Ferrari of Kimi Raikkonen, just that there was one problem. In executing his move on the Iceman, none of Verstappen's four wheels were inside the track limits.
This time around, however, he'd battle an even more dangerous driver, if it must be said, in the form of Lewis Hamilton and he drove like a pro- for that is what it takes to handle the Briton- to keep the nose of his car ahead of the Mercedes driver.
In engaging in a heartening but valiant battle with the now five-time world champion, Verstappen snubbed Hamilton from making any advances toward the front and snatched a clean and well-fought P2.
