Max Verstappen did wonders in his first year with Red Bull in 2016, winning his first race. The race that showed one of the talents of the Dutch driver was the Brazilian GP of the same year.
The race at Interlagos took place in heavy rain and Verstappen flew in the wet.
The Dutch driver's attack on Nico Rosberg from the outside in the 32nd lap is shared frequently even today and is seen as one of the best attacks in history.
According to FormulaPassion's report, Verstappen had this to say about this attack:
“I have to tell Rosberg that my attack was great.”
"The track was very wet, I tried different lines the whole race and there was more grip for me there."
“I was very close to Nico on previous laps but I couldn't see anything.”
“It was the only opportunity I had to really pass him, he went inward and came out a little bit worse from Turn 2. It was a good move.”
“Looking back, I probably didn't have fear in that moment. I wasn't looking at what might happen. I probably wouldn't have made the same move now. Still, it depends on what state you are in in the championship."
"The zammoments, I had nothing to lose and I made that attack.”
“I also have to say this; Trying to find grip elsewhere is a typical move for me. Especially if the whole weekend was spent on dry roads, but the race was held on wet roads. zamyou try different things. This is so normal."
