[Saba Sports News] Retired F1 driver Nico Rosberg claimed before the Hungarian Grand Prix that Lando Norris goes to bed at 11:05 PM and wakes up at 8:05 AM, emphasizing his professionalism. In contrast, Max Verstappen was reportedly racing in a simulator until 3 AM. Red Bull Racing consultant Helmut Marko refuted this claim, stating that Verstappen won the race in Imola despite staying up later. Marko mentioned that Verstappen’s sleep schedule is different from others and that the time he falls asleep is normal for him. When a helicopter arrived at Verstappen’s motorhome in the Dutch town of Zandvoort at 10 AM, he hadn’t even woken up yet, suggesting he had sufficient sleep. Red Bull team principal Christian Horner also dismissed Rosberg’s remarks, emphasizing Verstappen’s skills as an F1 driver, his ability to win races, and his potential to become a world champion. Horner stated that the team remains united and does not discuss improving daily routines in the media.
