When we were setting up an interview with Max Verstappen earlier this year, his star had fallen sufficiently far that at least one office sage wondered why we were bothering. True, Red Bull"s prodigy endured a decidedly average start to the 2018 season, having inked a mega deal with the team that had rapidly promoted him out of feeder team Toro Rosso in 2016. We met him a few hours before qualifying for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku; the next day, he and team-mate Daniel Ricciardo committed the cardinal sin of crashing into each other, a pointless incident that had been brewing all race long. Then he threw away a likely pole position when he had a clumsy crash in free practice ahead of the Monaco GP. Maybe the Top Gear office sages were right after all.
