AUSTIN, Texas -- Max Verstappen thinks he is currently producing the best form of his Formula One career and believes a comparison to teammate Daniel Ricciardo vindicates that opinion.
After a difficult start to the season punctuated by several high-profile mistakes, Verstappen has been one of the strongest performers on the grid. After squandering the chance to win the Chinese Grand Prix with several clumsy overtaking attempts he reached the lowest moment of his season at the Monaco Grand Prix in May -- his crash in final practice forced him to miss qualifying, where Daniel Ricciardo took a pole position which he would convert into victory the following day.
