To me, he is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Luyendyk\u2019s request during a comment about Verstappen\u2019s ability to multitask and the 71-year-old pointed out what he saw as the difference between how he and Lando Norris spoke over the radio.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was watching the Brazilian race on Netflix, and there\u2019s the radio communication. And then you hear Lando on the radio, and then you hear Max, and it\u2019s like you\u2019re listening to a 12-year-old Lando and you\u2019re listening to a 30-year-old veteran Max,\u201d Luyendyk said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo calm, so calculated. Like, \u2018Yeah, I can last another five minutes in this weather,\u2019 you know, and Lando was saying, \u2018Oh, we\u2019re all going to die,\u2019 or something like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cHe can do so much at the same time. He\u2019s a multitasking kind of guy. And I think it stems from all the racing he did as a kid in go-karting. But then the sim racing, that helps him a lot too in that \u2013 like he was following Lando somewhere, and he said he didn\u2019t slow down enough when there was a yellow out, and Lando got a penalty for that.<\/p>\n<p>More on Max Verstappen from PlanetF1.com<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.planetf1.com\/features\/max-verstappen-non-f1-win-circuits\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The seven F1 race tracks Max Verstappen has never won at<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.planetf1.com\/news\/red-bull-practically-have-only-one-driver-in-blunt-retired-failed-or-crushed-verdict\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Red Bull \u2018practically have only one driver\u2019 in \u2018retired, failed or crushed\u2019 verdict<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe just sees it \u2013 the whole picture \u2013 he\u2019s got it in one nanosecond.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As to how Verstappen became like that,\u00a0Luyendyk pointed to the role of hard taskmaster Jos Verstappen but did admit he may not have been to have been that disciplined.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI might have been too soft.
