If Verstappen was such a hotshot you would thought he would have done a lot better against Ricciardo.

A rich father ? I agree , that was the situation in MAX's successful kart career , because in the beginning all the money has to come from the own pockets !
He was the best of the world ! That's what MAX showed on the kart circuits .
Money helped but actually that doesn't matter . The driver has to show his driver skills to get in the worlds spot lights ..
That's what MAX actually did ..
But Jos's influence was nowhere in the F1 . Some slimy talk has no influence in the todays F1 !
It's what you can show to the F1 teams, and that's all about drivers performances .
RIC ? Mate are you serious ?
RIC had already 6 years of driver experience in the F1 and drove the Red Bull actually already blindfolded !
While MAX drove his first races without drivers license , age 17 !
In F1 terms that's like a grandpa vs a kid !
Anyway , RIC felt it was time to leave and walked because the kid was after a few races suddenly faster !
If RIC was stayed at Red Bull . MAX would have brought him down completely , and RIC's market value would be worth nothing anymore ...
So , RIC's escape plan worked really well ...
