You are not entirely correct, we know Lewis had the talent, he beat the current two-time world champion in his rookie year, a driver still highly respected now. He was also very unlucky not to win that year and 2 very fast teams had a chance to win races and it was a significantly closer field. Lewis did not have a car built to suit him and a subservient 2nd driver like Max has had since Riccardo left. Lewis went to Mercedes where Roberg was a resident driver, who had beaten Michael Schumacher (someone who does have a claim to be the GOAT) his teammate. So to downplay his talent is not correct. in 2016 Mercedes took all of Lewis support team and gave them to Rosberg. Lewis only lost that due to an engine failure in Malaysia, he had a better points-to-race finish ratio than Roseberg. Rosberg retired straight away due to the pressure of driving against Lewis. Even Max said he would not want the pressure of 2021 again. Bottas was not terrible I would rate him as good as Perez. Max has never had a partner who could be regarded as great or was a world champion either. Nor has he had any competition from a partner since DR (who he never beat over a season) as he has had full no1 status and a car and team built around him only. I was at the Singapore GP in 2022 when Sergio beat Max and that was because Max had dropped to 8th with a penalty and then 12th in the first lap with a poor start. Max was less than impressive that day in the fastest car on the grid so Sergio was allowed to win. If they were 1/2 Sergio would have been told to switch as we have clearly seen before. Sergio has won 4 races by the way, Monoco and Singapore in 2022 and Baku and Azerbaijan in 2023.

And one of the strong points of Lewis is his consistency, maybe not win every race like Max does now, but he is always there or there abouts. In my opinion though Senna was more talented and Max as well, but Max has that consistency of Lewis as well, something Senna didn't have. That's the point with Max, he has the complete package. But that seems the issue with Lewis fans, no matter how positive you think about Lewis, if you dare praise any other driver having better certain qualities than Lewis, well be prepared for team LH.

In the first example there are so many permutations that could have happened, between that race and the end of the season to assess within any degree of certainty what the race result would have been. In Abu Dhabi, the race and the championship was already won when the rule changes to fix the race were made.

Marko and Horner talked about Norisring (F3) Not about go-kart

We often shared the track in Genk with Max and Jos when my son was racing karts. The thing that convinced me he was a unmatched talent was when he went from direct drive to shifter karts (KZ, KZ1, and KZ2). Shifter karts require a completely different driving style to direct drive. Normally, it takes super talented drivers a couple of years to adapt and get competitive. In his first full year in shifters, Max won the FIA European Championship in KZ, the WSK Euro Series in KZ1, the WSK Master Series in KZ2, and the FIA World Championship in KZ -- all while also racing full time and winning championships in KF (direct drive).

I've seen Schumacher win, I've seen Alonso win, I've seen Vettel win and I've seen Hamilton win ... and no one comes close to Verstappen in pure skill, dedication and racing intelligence, all in one. There is no beating him in equal machinery.

The boy is a machine and at the same time, the average Dutch boy next door.

Max's ability to adapt to any car has to do with dad changing setup before the race without telling MAX. Legend goes he even put some oil on the clutch at some point, just to make him adapt. Jos, instead of making everything as easy as possible, challenged Max at every opportunity. The making him drive in and weather honed his skills even more. Combined with natural talent, extremely hard to beat the Max package. The car is his only limitation.

We're seeing a very fast and talented driver, supported by a car that is superior to all others in every aspect, with a team that is basically his own to run, win everything without any competition whatsoever, either due to Red Bull's technical supremacy or the other team's incompetence. It's exactly what MSC, Vettel and Hamilton have done in the past, but somehow back then it wasn't "history in the making" and it was "all thanks to the car". In a way, the current situation is also a disservice to Max - he might win 200 races and 15 championships like this, but still nobody would know how he'd actually perform under massive pressure and "make or break" situations. It's very easy for a top level driver to make no mistakes when you actually don't really have to push. The few times he's been under pressure in the past, more often than not it ended in tears, with the '21 final lap move being the odd exception; It would be very interesting to see how much, if at all, he's matured as a multiple World Champion.

Man the Marshalls bowing down to max in 2016 race win was hella 🥶 cold

So long as RB don't give him a lemon, he will win every Championship until he retires, which he will likely do after 8-10 championships. Then again it IS Max Verstappen and he may well choose to snag 15 before he calls it quits. It doesn't matter who the other driver is in the other RB either, he will beat them just like he has everyone else. It's hard to say whether he will decide to retire on the top of his game though, he may be so obsessed that he continues to race well into his 40s, which isn't a problem at all...but personally I'd like to see him win at least 7 championships, most hopefully an even 10, and then call it quits. He will go down as the greatest driver in F1 history even if he doesn't win more than 7. His ability to overperform every machine he's given is unmatched and says more about his talent and skills than the number of championships ever could (as they are dependant on having at least one of the top 3 cars and nowadays the FIA seems hell bent on doing everything they can to slow down the dominate drivers). But so long as he's given a truly competitive car he will win.

Max's qualities are a mix of Senna's and Schumacher's, with his own magic on top. Given his genetics and upbringing, it seems impossible that a more powerful combination of nature and nurture will ever occur. His life = racing, shown by his total commitment on track and online, and his own words. And he is the present and the future, because authenticity is the currency of the future. It takes many people longer to warm up to him, but once you see he is just an honest, straight up, stand up guy, combined with his exceptional ability and spectacular driving style, you're on board.

Finally an acurrate take on Verstappen, great video. I think the reality is the pool of talented racing drivers is tiny. Max had a huge advantage being raised in such a way by his dad, but then also his dedication to the sim world, which is important because as I say, the pool of talent in the real world is small, but the pool of talent in sim is huge and so actually, the calibre in general is much higher than F1. I think max was the first of the “sim gen” to dominate f1, and probably, only a sim gen driver could top him. I know Norris, Sainz, Leclerc, Piastri, etc, these guys know this, but even as talented as they are, max is racing with people I’d argue are more talented in the virtual world.

Max is clearly the best driver this century. Even a prime Schumacher, Senna or Prost wouldn’t beat him if they were on the grid in 2024. But if Max went back in time to the mid-90s to race against prime Schumacher or the late 80s to race against prime Senna, would he beat them? Don’t know! The cars were more unstable so it’s a tough call. Undoubtedly he could challenge them, but the telemetry doesn’t lie and Senna and Schumacher did some mighty impressive things behind the wheel. Cars today are so much more balanced that - as Prost says - the challenge today is not primarily about survival, but finding those extra 2 tenths over your teammate, and doing it consistently.

Max is amazing ❤

I say Senna is still the greatest driver. I believe Max will soon be considered the GOAT. Max was the boy and now Max is THE MAN .

The only way we will ever see another Max Verstappen is if another moderately successful F! driver, who never realizes his full potential and runs into the various pitfalls of F1, has a son or daughter. And that child expresses an unwavering desire to become a racing driver. Then that parent passes on all their knowledge - grooming the child from the time they can speak, and fully commits all resources to that child's education and training in the sport. Oh, and the child has to have the spine not to quit when the hard lessons come.

I hope the Red Bull shit won't take it on him. You go Max|

Oh yes there will, Max Verstappen Jr.

Not sure there will ever be a Max Jr. From a distance, he doesn't seem interested

If Max races until 35 he will have 10 championships.

Do not forget that people said in 2005-06 that the rivalry between Alonso and Raikonnen will go on for at least a decade and there'll be no one like them, then a year later we had Vettel and Hamilton. Everyone knows the rest

Exactly! Tough love its what its called getting sick of people calling jos a psychopath and saying max has traumas. I guess these are people that wished they did something with their child

He should wear a tattoo "don't try this at home" tho. Yes, Max is not traumatized by Jos, but hardened. No one, not even Marko can scare Max, he's seen it all and survived. But all due to Max mega talents: people should not get inspired by Jos and his upbringing style and understand how unique Max is. It al ends well not because of Jos but because of Max. You can NOT do this to some average child, and as we see now, there is nothing average about Max racing talents.

Believe me, Jos is psychopath. He attacked and terrorised the mother of Jos and ex-gf's of him also has a history of violence outside the track all kind of forms He is senteced for those crimes. It is well documented but mostly in the dutch press so not widley known. But he sacrificied everything for his son, so I think though love is right word, but pshycopath he is

winning in his red bull debut is crazy

And how did Max win that race? Because Lewis took out Nico and himself out of the race. Lewis now has perfected the art of taking his main rival out with minimal damage to himself - Silverstone 2021

I mean adding a shot of the lost engine cover in Monza was a bit misleading, he didn’t lose that because of a crash it just broke

There will never be another goes for all champions. Everyone is unique

Maxterclass 🇳🇱 king of F1 💯🔥❤️

Max is not a simple goat like lewis max is not just a good regular f1 driver that the most hamiltonfans shouting max is from a another dimension max don't need 5 titles to show the f1 world that their comes into the future nobody close to him !!

Records are meant to be broken, and its good for the sport, and ofcourse he will be one the greatest driver of this era

The only thing that can prevent Max from taking the WDC after WDC is his team developing a horribly subpar car. Nothing new obviously, but I am also of a solid belief that there is no equal to him in equal machinery.

Yes, there will never be another Max Verstapen. Same as there never going to be another you and another me. That's how physics works...

He is born to race

Thanks for the great video!

Y'know what, I think I may have put a finger on it - Verstappen now is just Prime Raikkonen but with a consistent and competitive car.

Really hope this guy gets 8 world championships

Yup, he was drilled, hardcore. Very un Dutch. And at the time i had my doubts about Jos' methods, but Max himself says he needed it, so who am i to criticize it. You rock, Max! 👌

To be fair, the car isn't really tailor-made to Verstappen. Albon confirmed this. He's just really fast, and the car is designed to go fast.

Pound for pound Max is a more complete racer than any other current driver. Additionally he 100% focused on the F1 and doesn’t exploit the F1 platform for virtue signalling politics, environmental or divisive social justice.

Legends say that max was helping his mum when she was karting🥶

99% of the records set in Formula 1, for that matter Auto sport have been broken since they were set. Max will always be measured against the best, he has earned that. But to say there will never be better goes against the reason people race. To win , to be the best. He set the bar high. Never say never.

People said there will never be another "x dominant racer" every time new one emerged.

for the first few years i kinda look like max, but instead of being the best, i didn't have money for a good kart so i could only be the best of the worst. But when i was put in a kart which everyone else had, an electric kart, i absolutely DOMINATED. IT's not the driver that wins, it's the kart and the money.

His childhood? Did he have one? Anyway he will definitely be the GOAT officially, when all the records are written.

I'd trade my childhood in for his in a second!

Max is the new Senna. I'm sure they said there will NEVER be another Senna too

Based on skill and war talent, speed, consistency Max ist the best driver to ever drive in Formula 1. (People often confuse success with skill)

Challenge excepted, i’m going to make my wife play sim racing while she’s pregnant so that my son can start driving when he’s fresh out of the womb

Max Verstappen is literally Batman.

In between the storm of debate, there are only two who could confirm: Senna and Schumy themselves. Who are, in different ways, no longer with us to compare Max' greatness. Which leaves behind a mysterious, unrequited feeling. With a touch of sadness.

So true. There will be never another Bob de Vries either.

When i think about the succes of Max i think about how Jos shaped him. At the local RC club is a kid that beats me. His dad brings him and tinkers with the car but he doesn't drive. Or i mean i pass him but he is good AF

There will be a next Max Verstappen, the future son of Max and Kelly

'THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER RICH KID WITH RACING PARENTS IN FORMULA ONE'... yes I think there will be more.

I will totally agree. There never will be another max verstsppen just as there will never be another of any other F1 champion you care to mention

Max is a legend 🧡🧡

There will never be another Fangio because times are changed. There will never be another Schumacher because now-a-days the drivers is not that important anymore. There will never be another Lewis, because F1 cars performance and drivers are more equally. There will never be another Max because, sure time will tell us that.

His life is racing... even at home.. he just plays sim racing at 2am in the morning than goes to sleep just to dominate an F1 race the next day

Tutututu Max Verstappen 🦁🏆

great video

TU TU TU TU MAX VERSTAPPEN

There will never be another Max Verstappen because teams would rather resign Alonso than nurture young talent.

Max is Jos' revenge on his own incompetence.

Thanks for only one

everyone keep the ‘’MAX VERSTAPPEN’’ chain.. DUDUDUDU!

Max = Senna 3.0

Sometimes I wonder if Schumacher actually raised max lol

The marshals bowing at 7:15 is awesome!!

Max's childhood shaped him into the Max we know. But I wish people would stop praising Jos for it. Jos might've taught Max racing, but he was a terrible father, an even worse husband, and a criminal. Norbert Vettel and Anthony Hamilton are proof that you can be a great father and a great teacher simultaneously. Max is strong in spite of Jos, not because of Jos.

Agree. There was no father/son thing in their relationship. Max is maybe the best racer, but he lost the father and father lost a son in that chase for perfection. Sounds like a dad wanted just to fill his own dreams by sacrificing his son.

I like these videos a lot, because most certainly right after the dominance stops. Videos about Lewis, Seb, Michael etc. exsist the same way. However, he´s absolute one of a kind. Would love to see him challenged a bit more now tho

SuperB video thnx

Theses never going to be another -insert current dominating driver-

SIM Racing can never replace real lap´s but, SIM Racing is very good for getting to the stage there you have a steady level of performance. not up and down like Daniel Ricciardo. SIM is the part of his training that made him to a robot.
