    There has been immense unrest within the Red Bull camp in the last two months. Stemming from the same, rumors claim Max Verstappen might soon be headed away from Red Bull, especially given there is a vacancy at Mercedes. Speaking about the same in a report by Independent.co.uk, Toto Wolff reveals he would love to have the Dutchman on board his team.

    Talking about the possibility of the move, Wolff said that the team needs to improve their car before he can have Verstappen in Mercedes. They need good equipment before dreaming about what their future can be. Wolff added each team on the grid would be willing to do handstands for the possibility of signing the 3X reigning world champion.

    “Let’s word it like this. It is a decision that Max [Verstappen] needs to take and there is no team up and down the grid who wouldn’t do handstands to have him in their car.”

    Helmut Marko has recently become the latest Red Bull entity to go under investigation. Should the findings of the investigation be against him, there are strong chances that the team will suspend him. However, things will not be too straightforward should it happen. Max Verstappen has all but ensured his departure from the Red Bull camp should Marko leave. Reports suggest there is a clause in Verstappen’s contract that allows him to terminate the same should there be significant changes in the management structure.

    Christian Horner has his say on the future of Max Verstappen

    As a string of controversies haunted Red Bull, rumors around Verstappen‘s departure escalated quickly. Some even suggested Jos Verstappen held talks with Toto Wolff to discuss the move. Addressing the same, Helmut Marko failed to deny the claims. His “no comments” stance added a layer of intrigue to their entire episode. However, Christian Horner is convinced that Verstappen is going nowhere. Despite the Dutchman not explicitly accepting the same as of late, Horner is confident Verstappen will honor the entirety of his current contract.

    Speaking further, Horner said that Verstappen has a great team around him and has faith in them. All of Verstappen’s F1 wins and podiums have come with Red Bull. Having achieved so much together, Horner is certain Verstappen will see out his contract with Red Bull. Furthermore, signs are very promising that the current stats will only go up. Verstappen has already won the first two races of the season, and no other driver is even close to his pace. As such, there are also some doubts as to why Verstappen would want to leave such a dominant car.

    Victoria Beckham is every inch the grafter as she undergoes dress fittings while David plugs eyewear… as the designer’s brand FINALLY turns a profit

    Victoria Beckham can proudly say her once-floundering fashion brand is turning a handsome profit.

    And on Thursday, the former pop star was proudly putting herself to work as she documented a dress fitting on Instagram – proving to be her own best advertisement in a sizzling black gown with a knot at the hip.

    She was feeling snap happy during the shoot as she popped her hip while showcasing newly darkened hair and a dramatic smouldering eyeshadow.

    While Victoria was working on her collections, David cemented the family’s grafter status as he too was on the promo trail with his eponymous eyewear collection.

    Taking to Instagram, the footballer smouldered while pretending to read a book with a pair of trendy hexagonal frames along with an open-necked linen shirt.

    Earlier in the week, Victoria added to her long list of cover-shoots on Wednesday by featuring in a new fashion spread for the Financial Times HTSI magazine.

    The former Spice Girl was chosen as cover star for the weekly lifestyle supplement while discussing the future of her VB fashion and beauty empire, which registered a profit last year after a series of financial shortfalls.

    Dressed in an oversized sweater and polished brogue shoes, Victoria, 49, sits cross-legged as she gazes off-camera in a shot taken by photographer Nathaniel Goldberg.

    Referencing her brand’s resurgence in an accompanying caption, she wrote: ‘Such a pleasure speaking on all things Victoria Beckham fashion and beauty! I’m so proud of where we are today… On newsstands and online this Saturday!’

    In October the designer told Vogue France her self-titled brand has finally made a profit, some 15-years after launching her own fashion label.

    ‘This is just the beginning. I have lots of ambitions, and I work hard to achieve my goals. I never wait for things to just fall into my lap,’ she said.

    ‘It’s such an exciting time. This year, we made a profit! This takes time, especially for an independent brand. My perfume isn’t a license – I own it.

    ‘Now that I have laid down the groundwork for the house, the real work can begin.’

    In an interview with industry bible Women’s Wear Daily (WWD) in March to celebrate the news, her brand’s investor, David Belhassen, shone a rare spotlight on the inner workings of Victoria’s empire.

    He said revenues were up by a huge 42 per cent to £58 million — and predicted that when the business filed accounts for the 2022 financial year in December, the former Spice Girl would make her many critics eat their words.

    In January 2023, accounts for Victoria Beckham Holdings Ltd revealed losses of £5,887,036 in 2021, down from £8,581,944 in 2020.

    The figure meant overall losses for the firm stood at £66.3m since its launch in 2008 and directors of the firm – including Victoria and her husband David – were not paid a dividend.

    The luxury fashion business has expanded to Europe and the Middle East, with the annual accounts saying the brand was also expanding into new products, with the launch of leather goods and the VB Body range.

    Despite big losses, the Beckham’s global empire has reportedly doubled its profits.

    Annual accounts filed with Companies House in London showed the pair made £11.6m in the year ending December 2020 despite the pandemic – compared to £4.5m in 2019.

    In accounts submitted in 2021, auditors warned of ‘significant doubt’ about Victoria’s fashion company’s ability to continue operating when it was reported the company had racked up debts of more than £46million since it launched.

    Friends of the star said at the time Victoria was determined to continue with her company even though her detractors have dismissed it as a vanity project.

    One said: ‘This is what gives Victoria her identity, she loves it and despite its obvious obstacles, she is a grafter and hugely passionate about it.’

    In February 2021, it emerged that Posh’s beauty range she set up in 2019 had suffered a loss of £4.7 million.

    A spokeswoman for Victoria said: ‘Whilst 2019 was a challenging year, the business halved its losses – a significant step in the road to profitability. The launch of the hugely successful beauty line in the same year helped drive overall revenues up 7% on 2018 and both businesses are focussed on profitable growth.

    ‘The showcase of the recent AW21 fashion collection has been well-received by fashion critics and the beauty business has seen multiple sell-out products in recent months.’

    The fashion label, which has a flagship store in Mayfair, London and sells items such as coats for up to £2,900 each, filed a loss of £12.2million in 2018, £4.6million in 2017 and a £8.4million loss in 2016.

    Nicola Peltz cozies up to mother-in-law Victoria Beckham at star-studded Lola premiere – after resolving THAT wedding dress ‘feud’

    Nicola Peltz Beckham cozied up to her mother-in-law, Victoria Beckham, at the star-studded Lola premiere in Los Angeles on Saturday at the Regency Bruin Theatre.

    The Bates Motel actress, 29 – who recently resolved a ‘feud’ with the fashion designer, 49, over that wedding dress drama – joined other celebrities at the event, including husband Brooklyn and BFF Selena Gomez.

    Peltz made a milestone by making her directorial debut with the upcoming drama titled, Lola – which is slated to be released on February 9.

    After their reconciliation, Nicola and Victoria brushed aside the past and paused for an assortment of snaps together while both wearing outfits from the Victoria Beckham collection.

    The budding star affectionately draped her right arm over her mother-in-law’s shoulder, and Victoria was seen grabbing hold of her hand with her own.

    Victoria also wrote a sweet message on Instagram: ‘we could not be more proud of you! Congratulations on your incredible film, Lola. officially in theatres February 9th! Kisses xx’

     The stylish pair were also dressed to impress for the special evening, with Nicola donning a white, corset top that had thick straps that wrapped around her shoulders.

    She also wore a pair of low-waisted, white trousers and slipped into a pair of white shoes that were partially concealed by the hem of the pants.

    The beauty opted for minimal accessories to allow the outfit to be the main focal point, and donned a mini ear cuff as well as a few rings that offered a flashy flare.

    Her locks were parted in the middle and pulled back into a chic up do, preventing any loose strands from falling onto her face.

    Peltz opted for a classical makeup look, which comprised of a layer of mascara to her lashes as well as a gold, shimmering shadow around her eyes.

    A light pink blush was added to her cheekbones for a radiant glow, while a nude-colored, matte tint was worn on her lips for a finishing touch.

    Victoria also made a statement of her own wearing a pair of dark navy slacks that contained a black trim on the sides.

    The star – who is currently married to David Beckham – also opted to wear a matching, double-breasted blazer which was secured with a button at the front.

    The designer slipped into a pair of closed-toed, black heels to coincide with the color scheme of the look, while also wearing dainty, gold anklets.

    She further accessorized the ensemble for the premiere by wearing a silver bracelet on her right wrist, as well as a gold watch on her other wrist.

    Her long, brunette locks were parted in the middle, and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in light waves.

    After pausing for a few solo pictures upon arriving to the venue, the Spice Girls singer also held a small smile as she celebrated her daughter-in-law’s new film.

    Nicola was alo accompanied by her husband, Brooklyn Beckham – whom she tied the knot with in 2022.

    He was dapper in a classic, black suit and chose to not wear a dress shirt underneath the blazer. The model completed the outfit by donning a pair of sleek, black shoes.

    The lovebirds also took time to pose for a quick photo session, and at one point, were seen sharing sweet gazes towards each other.

    The screening comes shortly after it was revealed late last month that both Victoria and Nicola put their differences aside and made up over $2-per-pop vodka cocktails and Sunday afternoons playing Peltz’s favorite memory game named Fish Bowl.

    Speaking for the first time about his mom and wife’s new close relationship, Brooklyn says they bonded over drinking cans of Vodka Snapper which is a mix of the spirit and fruit flavored iced tea.

    ‘We love Sunday roasts. Me and my dad share a bottle of wine. My mum and Nicola share vodka Snapple,’ he revealed.

    ‘We don’t really watch TV – we just talk and just have fun. It’s just about being in the moment, having a drink, eating food and enjoying each other’s company.’

    ‘We sometimes play games. My wife introduced my family to this game called Fish Bowl which we love to play at gatherings.’

    ‘My mum and dad really like it, we played it a couple of weeks ago when we were together.’ Brooklyn is said to be ‘thrilled and relieved’ that his beloved mother, who turns 50 in April and wife have buried the hatchet.

    One source says that ‘time was a great healer’ but now the two women are ‘super close.’

    Speaking of how they are now all friends, Brooklyn adds in an interview with Grazia magazine: ‘Me and my family are really close, and my wife and her family are really close.’

    Beckham and Peltz fell out after the actress assumed that her mother-in-law-to-be would be designing her wedding dress but she did not have the time to do so.

    Instead, the bride wore Valentino and later Nicola later gave an interview insisting that ditching Victoria’s offer was not designed to be a slight against her new mother-in-law.

    ‘I was going to and I really wanted to, and then a few months down the line, she realized that her atelier couldn’t do it, so then I had to pick another dress,’ she said.

    However, the past is now behind the family and they are now celebrating Nicola’s new milestone by making her directorial debut with the film titled, Lola.

    She also wrote the screenplay and took on a leading role in the project, which took nearly six years to make.

    The premise is, per IMDB, ‘Lola James works to save enough money to get her little brother, Arlo, out of their toxic home. Arlo keeps her hopeful, until one tragic night, when her whole world gets uprooted. From that moment on, nothing will ever be the same.’

    However, Nicola – who is an heiress – has received backlash for making a film about a poverty-stricken 19-year-old. She has also been criticized for unfairly using her elite background to get her pet project made.

    A trailer was released online last week, triggering a fierce backlash.

    One user posted on Instagram: ‘I wish rich people like yourself would stay away from trying to tell stories like this… You have no idea what this character’s reality is like.

    ‘I find it offensive to the working-class women who are truly living this reality that have to see a billionaire indulge themselves into a dream acting role.’

    Another wrote: ‘This project was funded through privilege.’ People on X, formerly Twitter, were just as scathing, with one calling it ‘poverty porn… just an escalating series of the worst clichés imaginable.’

    For Lola, she managed to secure the services of 28-time Grammy-winning producer Quincy Jones, the man behind Michael Jackson’s Thriller album, to help with the soundtrack.

    After pausing for a few solo pictures upon arriving to the venue, the Spice Girls singer also held a small smile as she celebrated her daughter-in-law’s new film.

    Nicola made a milestone by making her directorial debut with the upcoming drama titled, Lola – which is slated to be released on February 9.

    After their reconciliation, Nicola and Victoria brushed aside the past and paused for an assortment of snaps together while posing up a storm together on the pink carpet.

    The budding star affectionately draped her right arm over her mother-in-law’s shoulder, and Victoria was seen grabbing hold of her hand with her own.

    The stylish pair were also dressed to impress for the special evening, with Nicola donning a white, corset top that had thick straps that wrapped around her shoulders.

    She also wore a pair of low-waisted, white trousers and slipped into a pair of white shoes that were partially concealed by the hem of the pants.

    The beauty opted for minimal accessories to allow the outfit to be the main focal point, and donned a mini ear cuff as well as a few rings that offered a flashy flare.

    The screening comes shortly after it was revealed late last month that both Victoria and Nicola put their differences aside and made up over $2-per-pop vodka cocktails and Sunday afternoons playing Peltz’s favorite memory game named Fish Bowl.

    Speaking for the first time about his mom and wife’s new close relationship, Brooklyn says they bonded over drinking cans of Vodka Snapper which is a mix of the spirit and fruit flavored iced tea.

    ‘We love Sunday roasts. Me and my dad share a bottle of wine. My mum and Nicola share vodka Snapple,’ he revealed.

    ‘We don’t really watch TV – we just talk and just have fun. It’s just about being in the moment, having a drink, eating food and enjoying each other’s company.’

    ‘We sometimes play games. My wife introduced my family to this game called Fish Bowl which we love to play at gatherings.’

    ‘My mum and dad really like it, we played it a couple of weeks ago when we were together.’ Brooklyn is said to be ‘thrilled and relieved’ that his beloved mother, who turns 50 in April and wife have buried the hatchet.

    One source says that ‘time was a great healer’ but now the two women are ‘super close.’

    Speaking of how they are now all friends, Brooklyn adds in an interview with Grazia magazine: ‘Me and my family are really close, and my wife and her family are really close.’

    ‘Mine are in between London and Miami, which is really good. Thank God for the football team, so I get to see them as much as I can. We travel over to London sometimes, they come out here [to LA] and we sometimes meet in Miami.’

    Beckham and Peltz fell out after the actress assumed that her mother-in-law-to-be would be designing her wedding dress but she did not have the time to do so.

    Instead, the bride wore Valentino and later Nicola later gave an interview insisting that ditching Victoria’s offer was not designed to be a slight against her new mother-in-law.

    ‘I was going to and I really wanted to, and then a few months down the line, she realized that her atelier couldn’t do it, so then I had to pick another dress,’ she said.

    However, the past is now behind the family and they are now celebrating Nicola’s new milestone by making her directorial debut with the film titled, Lola.

    She also wrote the screenplay and took on a leading role in the project, which took nearly six years to make.

    The premise is, per IMDB, ‘Lola James works to save enough money to get her little brother, Arlo, out of their toxic home. Arlo keeps her hopeful, until one tragic night, when her whole world gets uprooted. From that moment on, nothing will ever be the same.’

    However, Nicola – who is an heiress – has received backlash for making a film about a poverty-stricken 19-year-old. She has also been criticized for unfairly using her elite background to get her pet project made.

    Watch the heartbreaking trailer for Nicola Peltz Beckham’s Lola

    A trailer was released online last week, triggering a fierce backlash.

    One user posted on Instagram: ‘I wish rich people like yourself would stay away from trying to tell stories like this… You have no idea what this character’s reality is like.

    ‘I find it offensive to the working-class women who are truly living this reality that have to see a billionaire indulge themselves into a dream acting role.’

    Another wrote: ‘This project was funded through privilege.’ People on X, formerly Twitter, were just as scathing, with one calling it ‘poverty porn… just an escalating series of the worst clichés imaginable.’

    For Lola, she managed to secure the services of 28-time Grammy-winning producer Quincy Jones, the man behind Michael Jackson’s Thriller album, to help with the soundtrack.

  • Viral clips shows Anthony Joshua’s brilliance as he knocked down Francis Ngannou three times in brutal second round victory

    Viral clips shows Anthony Joshua’s brilliance as he knocked down Francis Ngannou three times in brutal second round victory

    A clip showing every time Anthony Joshua knocked down Francis Ngannou has gone viral after the Brit’s second round knockout in Saudi Arabia.

    AJ became the first person to knock down the UFC champion in his career before putting him to the canvas another two times to defeat him on Friday night.

    Joshua had sent Ngannou tumbling to the canvas once in the first-round before doing so twice more in the second – with the third knockdown proving crucial.


    Ngannou couldn’t get back up and Joshua went one better than his foe Tyson Fury by finishing Ngannou after just two rounds.

    Now, a video showing each one of AJ’s knockdowns has gone viral as he was back to his very best in front of a star-studded crowd in Saudi Arabia.

    Boxing fans couldn’t believe what they were watching, with many suggesting that Joshua made light work of Ngannou.

    One fan took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to say: ‘Aj looked too sharp, he is in the form of his life.’

    ‘J showed there’s levels for sure,’ said another.

    A final fan concluded: ‘Masterclass by Anthony Joshua.’

    Others suggested that AJ’s performance made Fury look bad as he relied on a decision to beat Ngannou in their bout.

    ‘Anthony Joshua just made Tyson Fury look like a BUM,’ wrote one boxing fan on X. ‘No offense but this match was needed to revive heavy weight boxing again.’

    ‘Does this not show that Tyson’s victory was a fraud?’ asked another fan.

    It remains to be seen as to what is next for Joshua, who openly called out the winner of Fury’s bout with Oleksandr Usyk for his next fight.

    Tony Bellew lauds Anthony Joshua’s ‘exceptional’ knockout as the sporting world reacts to his devastating win over Francis Ngannou… with Logan Paul left awestruck by the British heavyweight’s power

    The sporting world has reacted to Anthony Joshua‘s outrageous knockout win over Francis Ngannou, with Tony Bellew amongst those celebrating the British fighter’s latest victory.

    Joshua made a statement of his ambitions to become a three-time heavyweight world champion by sending Ngannou to the canvas for the third time in Friday’s marquee clash in Saudi Arabia.

    What was previously expected to be a close contest turned into one of Joshua’s most impressive and brutal wins as he produced a sickening knockout blow.


     

    Ngannou crashed to the canvas as his legs buckled under him after Joshua’s huge right-hand connected with the ex-UFC champion’s chin in the second-round.

    All eyes of the sporting world were on Joshua to see if he could find a way past the powerhouse of Ngannou that had previously floored Tyson Fury as he delivered a win in the best possible fashion.

    Former Man United and Chelsea manager, Mourinho, congratulated Joshua ringside before later taking to social media and posting a video of the knockout alongside the caption: ‘wowwwwwww’.

    Joshua’s long-term friend and former WBC cruiserweight champion, Tony Bellew, described the win as a ‘statement’ performance, posting on X: ‘Statement!! Exceptional! Just a couple of words to describe that performance…’.

    There was further praise from Michael Owen as the Premier League icon, posted in reaction to Joshua’s win: ‘Wow. Not seen as brutal a knockout as that in a long time.’

    The responses continued as former boxer Anthony Fowler warned UFC fighters to stop trying to crossover into boxing: ‘That’s what a world class boxer should be doing to a MMA fighter, respect to Ngannou for getting in there, Joshua wouldn’t get in the cage with him.’

    There was even higher praise from Fury’s Queensberry promoter Frank Warren who quipped ‘that was a statement win’, while Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn labelled him as the ‘baddest man on the planet’.

    Youtuber and WWE superstar Logan Paul – who has previously ventured into professional boxing – was shocked as he watched replays of Joshua’s knocjout and commented: ‘my god’.

    An iconic goodbye! Victoria Beckham joins Kate Moss and Gigi Hadid as 40 legendary British Vogue cover stars come together for epic shoot to mark Edward Enninful’s final edition… so can YOU name them all?

    Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss and Gigi were among 40 legendary British Vogue stars that came together to shoot the cover for Edward Enninful‘s final edition.

    Edward, 51, the first male and first black editor of the publication, announced in June that he would be stepping down to take on a new global role at publisher Conde Nast.

    He ensured his final cover would one to remember and gathered some of the biggest names in showbusiness, managing to get them all in one room for an epic farewell shoot – but how many A-listers can you spot?

    ‌It is the largest number of women ever shot together for a Vogue cover, but took acclaimed photographer Steven Meisel just 15 minutes to shoot the group.

    Revealing how he came to choosing the icons, Edward penned: ‘When it came to my last issue, I knew the cover would be dedicated to women. Of course!’

    He continued: ‘It was clear to all of us on the team that no one woman could or should encapsulate these past few years for the magazine. What we needed was a group, to lean into the power of the collective to bring to life what I hope has been a daring, disruptive and evolutionary period in Vogue’s history.’

    After sending out requests to his 40 cover stars, Edward confessed he held his breath hoping they’d agree, before the celebrities flew in from London, Paris, Milan, Los Angeles and beyond to arrive in December (at their own expense) for the New York-based shoot.

    The ladies had been given three months notice to attend, with Edward writing personal notes to each woman asking them to participate.

    The only person unable to make the shoot was Nicole Kidman who was working away on a movie.

    He recalled: ‘They materialised as if from a dream.

    ‘When 8am rolled around the models, the movie icons, the musicians, the moguls, the sporting legends and media stars began to arrive. Mother and daughter Kaia Gerber and Cindy Crawford carpooled.

    ‘Ditto Salma Hayek Pinault and Linda Evangelista, given Salma stayed at Linda’s house the night before.

    Dua Lipa and Miley Cyrus squeaked in by the skin of their popstar schedules. And everyone made sure things ran smoothly so Gigi Hadid could make it home on time to her toddler.’

    Edward concluded: ‘So here it is: my 76th and final edition of Vogue, six and a half years and 153 cover stars later, including the 40 legendary women who feature on this cover. It’s been an extraordinary ride and an absolute honour.

    ‘As I step into my new role, as Condé Nast’s global creative and cultural advisor for Vogue, I’m determined to keep championing the incredible array of voices in fashion and media, and ensure we keep the energy explosion of the last few years going.

    ‘We always say it, because it always needs to be said: “there is a great deal yet to be done.”‘

    Speaking about her experience on set, Selma Blair told The Washington Post: ‘We were allowed to take pictures but I wanted to see it through my own eyes. I believe we’ll all be allies to each other.

    ‘We were spokes in a wheel. We’re stronger together. I feel more confident for having been in that group.’

    Edward is due to be replaced by Londoner Chioma Nnadi as editor of British Vogue.

    The Mail on Sunday reported Edward had hoped one day to replace Anna Wintour, but the Vogue Editor-In-Chief is determined to stay put and will ‘swat any rivals off like a fly’.

    Edward will take up a ‘global advisory position’ at Vogue, ‘with the freedom to take on broader creative projects’.

    ‘He made no secret of wanting the big job [global editorial director] but he hit the glass ceiling and he’d gone as far as he could go,’ explained the Vogue insider.

    ‘He thought he would be in London for a few years and then head for New York, but he now knows that he’s never going to get Anna’s job at Condé Nast.

    ‘Anna is the undisputed boss. She has seen off many rivals and continues to do so. She could swat him like a fly.’

    A fashion source put it more bluntly: ‘I think Edward underestimated her power. He had so much smoke blown up his a**e when he was appointed editor that he couldn’t see his own trousers.’

    This week also saw Vogue staff say an end of an era to their office, as they moved out of the legendary Vogue House in Mayfair, London, where the magazine has been published for 65 years.

    Condé Nast announced last year it would be moving staff at its publications, which include Vogue, GQ, Tatler and House & Garden, to The Adelphi on the Thames Embankment.

    Vogue House was put up for sale earlier this year and was bought by shipping mogul Eyal Ofer, a Monaco-based businessman reportedly worth $23billion. It will be renamed 1 Hanover Square, marking the end of an era for the publisher.

    The deal only covers the leasehold for the property as The Church of England owns the freehold.

    Ofer paid £75million for the property, £5million more than the price it was listed at, according to The Telegraph.

    British Vogue was launched in 1916 and moved to Vogue House, just off Regent Street, in 1958.

    The March issue of British Vogue is available via digital download and on newsstands from Tuesday 13 February

    The Qualifying session for the Saudi Arabian GP had very little surprise on offer. Fernando Alonso was the standout performer of the day, securing a P4 qualification. Meanwhile, Max Verstappen was once again at his dominant best, securing the fastest time in Q1, Q2, and Q3. While it was hardly a surprise, F1 expert Peter Windsor was amongst the few people taken aback by the performance of the Dutchman.

    Speaking in the latest video on his official YouTube channel, a surprised Windsor had to go back on his words from before. Following the practice sessions, Windsor predicted Verstappen’s lead would be smaller in Jeddah than in Bahrain. However, the 71-year-old was surprised to see the lead grow further.

    “I was probably a bit optimistic and ambitious after Thursday when I said that it would be a bit more exciting for pole position at this circuit than is normally the case.”, said Windsor.

    Verstappen‘s prowess was matched equally by his team when they set up the RB20 for Jeddah. They made sure that the balance of the car was perfect. It gave Verstappen the confidence to go around a circuit that was full of very fast corners. The car even maintained a great top speed, further allowing Verstappen to blitz past the rest of the grid.

    He was able to get the car to do what he wanted and was extremely fast throughout the session. Purple Sectors came easily for the 3X world champion, as he secured his 34th career pole position.

    Max Verstappen is a happy man after qualifying P1 in Jeddah

    Qualifying over three-tenths of a second faster than P2, Verstappen was very happy with the RB20. Claiming to have enjoyed the qualification day, Verstappen said the car was “nice to drive,” and overall, it was a good improvement from the practice session.

    The improvements allowed the Dutchman to attack the corners at high speed and improve Red Bull’s one-lap performance. Per Verstappen, confidence is extremely important to push the car to the limit in Jeddah. Given the setup of the RB20, the #1 driver had no shortage of confidence, and it resulted in the fastest lap around Jeddah in history.

    Red Bull, as a whole, holds a distinct advantage over the rest of the field. Having seemingly improved their one-lap pace, the Austrian team already has the best race pace on the grid. Thus, Verstappen expects to easily be able to retain P1 and win the Saudi Arabian GP.

    As a team, the Dutchman claimed they were very happy with their car and the strides they made on Qualifying Day. He concluded his statement by saying it had been a great job from the entire team.
