BREAKING NEWS: Verstappen “loses a million per winless race,” according to Schumacher.
Following on from his dismal results at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, former Formula One driver Ralf Schumacher asserted that Max Verstappen ‘loses a million for every race he doesn’t win’.
The three-time defending world champion is currently experiencing a slump that seemed unimaginable at the beginning of the season, as he carried over his 2023 form that saw him win 19 of 23 races.
Verstappen’s advantage in the Driver’s Championship has been reduced to 59 points this season, though, and he hasn’t won a race since June, a run of seven events.
The seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher’s brother, Frank Schumacher, feels Verstappen’s drought is severely hurting his finances and has stated that the Dutchman is missing out on millions of dollars as a result.
“Every race that he loses, it’s assumed that he loses a million dollars.” He informed Sky. That is not credible. He was quite successful the previous year, and in addition to the fact that his athletic career is failing, he is losing out on a significant amount of money.
