Max Verstappencurrent king of F1, holder of the last three F1 titles (2021, 2022 and 2023), attend ‘DAZN’ and, despite having doubts at the beginning, he accepted the always difficult challenge of choosing the 5 best drivers in the entire history of Formula 1. And among them, he did not hesitate to put Fernando Alonso, a driver he always shows special. respect for his driving skills.
“You know what happens? No matter what people say, they’re going to comment and they’re going to disagree,” he said at the start before indicating his Top-5 best drivers in history, which are as follows: ““I’ll go with Michael Schumacher, probably Ayrton Senna, Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton and Juan Manuel Fangio.”.
So, Max Verstappendespite his three titles and his immense dominance in recent campaigns, decided not to put himself on the list of 5.
Next to Michael Schumacher7 titles), Ayrton Senna (3 world cups), hamilton (7 crowns) and Juan Manuel Fangio (5), put by the Dutchman Fernando Alonso and he did it by naming the man from Oviedo then lewis. In fact, the Dutch driver explained last year to ‘The Times’ that “Lewis will never reach Alonso’s level” when it comes to building the expectation that Fernando achieved last year with his amazing start to his adventure in Aston Martin.
Verstappen has already said he prefers Alonso to Hamilton
“Lewis will not reach that level, because Fernando excels there. Probably a lot of people will start to hate me for saying this, but that’s how I see it. For me, without a doubt, the best is Fernando because of the the way he runs the car, detecting small things, showing this extra ability he’s still driving at the limit, but he’s thinking about other things as well.”Verstappen said last year about Alonso, putting him a step above Lewis despite having 5 crowns less.
And according to Max, the Asturian has a special ability: “I think being able to think about more things, having a broader vision, is also a big advantage in F1. You can’t train for that kind of stuff. Only a few drivers have it.”
