Max Verstappen is probably going to be Formula One world champion one day. If and when he gets there, it's unlikely he will have done so having taken the advice of many from outside his inner circle.
It is easy to forget that the driver enjoying Verstappen's current vein of form was the same one being criticised heavily be F1's media at the start of 2018. A horrible run of mistakes -- including those which cost him a good shot at victory in China and Monaco -- saw him on the defensive in the early part of the season.
