Sky Sports analyst praises Verstappen's mental strength after becoming a new father

Verstappen missed the Miami media day due to the arrival of his child with Kelly Piquet. However, he was in Miami for the action that Friday.

"It's fantastic. Whoever you are, it's such a special time," Davidson said at Sky Sports.

“The impressive thing for me is the compartilisation he is about to embark on here."

Verstappen was able to clinch pole position during the feature races qualifying session, thus putting a stop around the talk that he would be slower as a father.

Davidson then wondered, "Having been in the maternity ward with Kelly and seen the birth of his daughter, and then in the blink of an eye, you're back here in a Formula 1 car. How do you do that?"
