Max Verstappen’s frustration after the United States Grand Prix could help him in Mexico, RacingNews365 journalist Jan van der Burgt argues. Van der Burgt sees a possible upside to that mood: he says Verstappen can often find something extra at the following weekend when he is fired up.

Van der Burgt also says Verstappen performed well at COTA and received widespread praise. Charles Leclerc called him a beast; in Van der Burgt’s account, the car did not cooperate.

The Mexico Grand Prix is scheduled for November 1, giving Verstappen the next chance to see whether that extra edge appears on track.
