Max Verstappen hailed as “the best we’ve ever seen in F1” by one of Ayrton Senna’s former teammates
Is Max Verstappen the best ever? One🌠 of Ayrton Senna's teaℱmmates has weighed in on the debate.
F1 legend Gerhard Berger has explained why he thinks Max Verstappen has the edge over Ayrton Senna and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Schumacher in the GOAT debate.
Verstappen enjoyed the most dominant season in F1 history in 2023, winning 19 o🎃f th🥂e 22 races.
The Dutchman smashed numerous records along the way as he moved into third-place in the ไall-time winners list.
If Verstappen enjoys another dominant year in 2024, many have tipped him to overtake 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton as the sport’s most successful driver.
However, Berger ꦅ- who competed in F1 for 14 seasons, notably for McLaren alongside Senna - has weigh🥂ed in on who is the greatest.
“I'm a bit biased when it comes to that question because I drove with and against Ayrton Se🔯nna - I usually put him first,” he told AMuS.
“But that's where the question begi𝐆ns: how do you judge something like that? It's real🦋ly only possible with facts and figures.
“And you have to put Michael Schumacher in first place. Sen👍na impressed with his talent and his supernatural abilities in the✨ car.”
Berger conceded that Verstappen’s perform♑ances has led him t𝕴o question his “old assessment”.
He believes Verst𝐆appen is ahead of Senna and Schumacher because of how few errors he makes, 𓂃citing his love of driving in simulators.
“With Max Verstappen, we have someone who makes me question whether my old assessment is stillဣ correct𒅌,” Berger added. “Max didn't make a single mistake last season.
“At least that happened to Senna from time to time. Senna and Schumacher benefited from the fact that they drove karts from an early age and did nothing else in♉ life but race. That applies to all drivers today.
“Verstappen, however, still races virtually on the simulator in his spare time. He is always preoccupied with racing. He mentally plays through where he can and cannot ove♏rtake.
“Neither Senna, Schumacher nor Hamilton had this t෴ool. It's simply noticeable that Ma🐼x is always in the right place. At the start, in the first corner, in the duel.
“I can't think of anything you could do better than ꦕhim. That's why Max Verstappen is probably the best we've ever seen in F1."
