If Max is not on the same level as Hamilton- then so is every other driver who has the capability and perhaps competent machinery, if not the greatest package designed ever to overcome a Mercedes. But which other FORMULA 1 loose wheel nut has managed to keep his sanity in check ever since Nico packed his bags and left? Nico- Brittany to some, world champion to many others- was the last guy to defeat the incredible Briton. We know how this has panned out in the past too whenever the subject of being in the same league as Lewis has arrived. Incidentally, who beat Valtteri Bottas driving a Red Bull when the Finn, usually hired to win, as they say (not that Raikkonen would care) was in a Mercedes? Surely Albon’s priceless podiums in 2020 were brilliant news for a team that put its faith in a driver who isn’t considered all too great at the moment. Why is Max Verstappen being compared to Hamilton when there’s little need? So my problem with drivers like you sir and no you haven’t borrowed a dime from me, in fact, I keenly await my salary for the month is this: Just like he didn’t at the Turkish GP knowing well that pushing extra hard on getting past Bottas would compromise his tyres and see the outcome?Īs a matter of fact, did Charles- vastly respected already- not push a bit too aggressively at Monza 2019? Who are the black and white flags waved for back when a young man beat Hamilton in his own game? In a seemingly Senna-esque fashion: be bold, brave and go for the chance if it’s there- Max takes his chance.Ĭall it age, call it irrational exuberance, but Max won’t relent.
Now Max Verstappen, on the other hand, responds differently to situations. And speaking of not losing one’s cool, there’s also a certain Kimi Matias Raikkonen who kept his whilst many beside him were losing theirs at the Abu Dhabi GP 2012. That’s all it takes- not losing your composure and finding that positivity somehow. The 70th Anniversary Grand Prix- won by Verstappen eventually- saw Hamilton winning on three wheels.
But see how he reacts even when the odds go against his favour. It’s not that he’s not faced heat or been found wanting. Hamilton is spurred by the innate desire to improve and get better each time he gets inside that car.
