Max Verstappen names the one condition that would make him retire from F1

Max Verstappen stated he would retire from Formula 1 if he ever stopped believing he was the best driver on the grid. Speaking ahead of the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, the four-time world champion explained that his belief in being the best has driven him since his debut in 2015, stating he would simply stop racing without that mindset.

Verstappen currently sits second in the drivers' standings, holding a 17-point lead over Mercedes driver George Russell after recovering from an engine penalty to finish second in Brazil behind Lando Norris. After Red Bull faced early-season performance struggles with its new Ford power units, Verstappen has rebounded with victories in Bahrain, Singapore, and Mexico.
