Max Verstappen is the equal of Michael Schumacher, it has been claimed 📖in Germany.

Verstappen’s brilliant drive to victory at the F1 Sao Paulo Grand Prix from ❀17th on the grid was an overdue reminder of his genius.

He ended a winless streak to firmly take charge of the t🌼itle battle, and put himself on course f𝔍or a fourth F1 title in a row.

Schumacher and Lewis Hami💞lton have the most ti🐟tles ever, with seven.

“It's still a while away from the world championship titles,” former F1 driver🌌 Timo Glock told .

“But as far as the qualities in the rain are concerned, as far as the qualities as a racing driver are concerned, Max Verstappen ca𝕴n already be put on a par with Michael Schumacher.

“Ma⛦x is incredibly good, what he always achieves in the race is extraordinary. Unique.🐷"

Red Bull’s Helmut M🗹arko a♊dded: "He was in a world of his own.

“The overtaking manoeuvres were sensational. I said b🎶eforehand t꧃hat he would finish on the podium, but in such a demonstration it blew up everything again.

"It's this incredible control of 🌸🐠the car and, especially in the rain, this feeling of exploring the limit more than anyone else."

Verstappen breaks Schumacher record

Verstappen has brokဣen a long-hel🐷d record of Schumacher’s.
