Type “Follow this sport, you have never seen such a show.”

And it doesn’t matter if other teams fail to close the gap on Red Bull. The goal of Liberty Media, of course, is not to falsify the championship.

to keep a monster like Max Verstappen from crashing.

In this regard, Maffei allowed himself a joke that was supposed to make people smile, but in fact it is a very bad form. “What can we do to stop Verstappen? I don’t know, except that I broke his leg like Tonya Harding.” We are talking about the scandalous attack by the husband of a famous American figure skater on her rival Nancy Kerrigan during the 1994 Olympics. The case was also shown on the screen in the film. Tonyawith Margot Robbie.
