Max Verstappen hailed as “the best we’ve ever seen in F1” by one of Ayrton Senna’s former teammates
Is Max Ve🌱rstappen the best ever? One of Ayrton Senna's teamm🐼ates 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 h🍃istory in 2023, winning 19 of the 22 races.
The Dutchman smashed numerous records along the way as he ܫmoved into third-place in the 𓃲all-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 - who competed in ༺F1 for 14 seasons, notably for McLaren alongside Senna - has weighed in on who is 🎐the greatest.
“I'm a b𓄧it 🌠biased when it comes to that question because I drove with and against Ayrton Senna - I usually put him first,” he told AMuS.
“But that's where the question begins: how do you judge something like that? It's really only possible with facts an💫d figures.
“And you have to put Michael Schumacher in first 🌟place. Senna impressed with his ta𝔍lent and his supernatural abilities in the car.”
Berger conc🃏eded that Verstappen’s performances has led him to question his “old assessment”.
He believes Verstappen is ahead of Senna and Schum🔜acher because of how few errors he makes, citing his love of driving in simulators.
“With Max Verstappen, we have someone who makes me q🔴uestion whether my old assessment is still correct,” Berger added. “Max didn't make a single mistake last season.
“At least that happened to Senna from time to time. Senna and Schumacher benefite꧅d from the fact that they drove ꦓkarts from an early age and did nothing else in life but race. That applies to all drivers today.
“Verstappen, however, still r🍌aces virtually on the simulator in his spare time. He is always preoccupied with racing. He mentally plays through where he ca𝓰n and cannot overtake.
“Neither Senna, Schumacher nor Hamilton had thi🍬s tool. It's simply noticeable that Max is always in the right place. At the start, in the first corner, in the duel.
“I can't think of anything you could ꦰdo better than him. That's why Max Verstappen is probably the best we've ever seen in F1."
