Nico Rosberg sees Max Verstappen as the rival to beat. Like the great Formula 1 driver of these times. Like a runner who, since he doesn’t have someone with his own car, is on his way to making history in the sport. So much so that he alone sees someone capable of coping “more or less” if they both had the same conditions.
If both were pilots for the same team… something that seems tremendously unlikely. Why Rosberg? just see Lewis Hamilton capable to be able to be at the level of the Dutchman from Red Bull.
“I would say that the only one capable of looking Max in the face, and being more or less at his level, is Lewis Hamilton. In case the two had the same car”, said Rosberg on ‘Sport1 Germany’.
And he continues: “What Verstappen is doing is crazy. Winning 15 races a year is brutal. He is the driver to beat in F1.”
“He’s simply brilliant. I’m sure he will be one of the five best in history, now even more so since he won his second title,” he says.
In that sense, I remember what has happened to all those who They have shared a team with Verstappen.
“Think of the previous ones, who are not idiots, but Gasly or the others do not even reach half in terms of level”, he affirms.
And Perez? “He’s been close at times, but was in no man’s land Compared to him”.
