Naomi Schiff believes she has spotted something that is getting Max Verstappen into trouble.
Max Verstappen’s winning attitude may actually be his “Achilles’ heel” according to Sky Sports F1 pundit Naomi Schiff.
But while that has propelled him to three world titles, Sky pundit Schiff believes it could also be his “Achilles’ heel.”There have been plenty of examples of Verstappen defying team orders if he believes it is to be in his best interest. The most recent example came in Sao Paulo last year where the Dutchman refused to yield a position to Sergio Perez despite the Mexican needing the points more than the already crowned world champion Verstappen.
“At the moment, you can’t really fault Max or the team,” she said on Sky Sports F1. “They’ve not put a foot wrong. “Max, I think, if anything, his wants and his hunger for more every time might be his Achilles’ heel because he’s put himself in some very risky situations where he maybe didn’t need to. But that’s the fighting spirit that we love to see and that I think is part of why he’s as quick as he is.”Nico Rosberg, who joined Schiff on the broadcast, suggested that Verstappen was moving towards “the all-time greats” after his latest title win.“We’re witnessing absolute greatness,” the 2016 champion said.
