Coulthard says Verstappen feels at home at Interlagos

After Max Verstappen climbed from 21st to second in the Brazilian Grand Prix, David Coulthard said the Dutchman feels at home at Interlagos. On the Up to Speed podcast, he likened the circuit to “his favourite armchair or his favourite pair of slippers”.

Coulthard recalled Verstappen looking cautious on the opening lap and praised Lewis Hamilton’s start. He said Verstappen had gained places by the end of the lap, then found his rhythm and pushed on. It was the third time in a row Verstappen had driven from the back towards the podium in Brazil.
