Max Verstappen is known as an aggressive, sometimes hot-headed racer who looks like he’s always on the limit - but interestingly, his driving style paints a completely different picture.

What is it about Verstappen’s driving style that makes him one of the fastest drivers on the F1 grid, how is he extracting the most from his Red Bull F1 car and how does his style compare to other F1 drivers? All of that, coming up.

First, let’s have a look at Verstappen’s racing line. You may have heard that drivers like Verstappen, Hamilton and Vettel drive a “squarer” racing line. But what is a “square” racing line, what are the benefits and how does Verstappen use it to his advantage?

The reason a racing line goes from the outside, to inside and back to the outside of a track, is to open up the corner as much as possible. The shallower the arc through the corner, the more speed you can take through it. This is called the geometric racing line - it’s essentially how the line would look if you used a compass to draw it.

However, this doesn’t take in to account the fact that the car typically needs to decelerate into, and accelerate out of, each bend. With this change of speed, the dynamics of the car are shifting with load being transferred around and the balance of grip changing.

Therefore, the fastest way through a corner is not the geometric line, rather it’s something we call the ideal racing line.
