5. He has just got transferred from another Formula 1 team
Another reason why Max’s triumph in Spanish GP was phenomenal is the fact that it was his first race with his new team. He was just swapped from another team.
How did this happen? Well, Toro Rosso and Red Bull Racing are under the same management. So they can do anything they want with their driver compositions.
Max was swapped with Daniil Kvyat. The team made the swapping decision to get better racing result. And apparently they really made the right call.
Of course, the result might be different hadn’t had the Mercedes drivers crashed out. Regardless, Max finished in front of the two Ferrari and that is a great deal.
