max verstappen He is a two-time Formula 1 champion. Two consecutive years in which he has been the best driver. In the latter he has had no rival. Only Charles Leclerc at the beginning of the season. But Ferrari has deflated as the weekends went by.
Nico Rosbergin statements to ‘Sky’, has predicted a dominance of Dutch in the coming years: “It is an amazing pilot. I think it’s easy to say he’s going to be one of the greatest of all time, if you look at the statistics… Even now you can tell.”
And he emphasizes that he has already surpassed Fernando Alonso in victories: “He is a double world champion with many victories. More than Alonso. He is already one of the best in history and he is only beginning.”
He even talks about the “next decade”: “It will confirm it in the next decade. His driving is phenomenal and it’s great to witness.”
Although Rosberg points out that Ferrari “has been faster” at times than Red Bull: “You have to remember that your car has not been much faster than the rest. The Ferrari was the fastest car at the beginning of the season and, even so, , he had an incredible 15 wins.”
“He really destroyed his rivals,” he says about Verstappen. And he says: “If you look at the points that he has achieved, he has achieved 146 points more than anyone else, it is unreal. It is one of the best seasons at the driving level that we have seen, without a doubt”.
In 2023 Verstappen will once again be the driver to beat. The unknown is where Ferrari will be, if Mercedes will be able to improve or if other teams like Aston Martin or Alpine may be the revelation.
