Verstappen crash story goes viral

There is no doubt that Verstappen is one of the big things in racing right now and has been giving some great moments for the Red Bull team. However, there have been some tragic races that have caused some problems. Back in 2021 in the Silverstone circuit, Verstappen had a devastating crash in an ongoing battle with Lewis Hamilton, this crash saw Verstappen swerve out of bounds and straight crash into the copse corner. Though it is great to see Verstappen get another podium finish this season, this crash might have been the reason that such a wonderful career would have ended.

Verstappen also opened up on this story saying " Since my Silverstone crash (2021), I've struggled with visibility problems, especially on undulating circuits or those with lots of advertising boards on the side. In this race (US 2021), I wasn't just fighting against Lewis, but also against blurred images". Though Verstappen went onto win this race due to vision problems he also revealed that he almost decided to retire. This has made the fans respect him even more as we are still seeing him on the track giving some great performances and has fought through his problems.
