China could have been a turning point for Max Verstappen, according to former Mercedes boss Norbert Haug.Undoubtedly a young sensation, the Dutchman came un der intense scrutiny after the race in Shanghai a fortnight ago following his clash with Sebastian Vettel.
F1 legend Niki Lauda even questioned Verstappen's "intelligence". Former Mercedes chief Haug told Sport Bild: "I would not be surprised if that was not a key experience that will now help him to act with calculated aggression rather than crashing into rivals and wearing his tyres out." (GMM)
