“On the track I will put it all on the line,” he was quoted as saying by The Guardian. “I am not going to back out. I want to win. That needs to be the end result. Some people criticise me for that. But most of them don’t have a championship-winning mentality so they don’t understand and they will never understand that kind of approach.”

Max Verstappen’s all-out racing style has been heavily criticised by drivers, past and present, and was hit with massive penalties a few times during this season too. But he remains firm that he will not be changing any time soon.
