Verstappen "Fastest Driver That Has Ever Driven an F1 Car" - Button

[motoliser]

Do I know you?

Do I you??

 

[snyperal]

who's Button?? ...Anyway here's the correct order:
1 - Senna
2 - Fangio
3 - Schumacher
4 - Gilles Villneuve
5 -Jim clark
6 - Lauda
7 - Prost
8 - Daniel Ricciardo ( Verstappen could not beat him)
9 - Hamilton
10 - Leclerc/ Vertappen ( yet to find out who gets the place)

You put Danny Ric ahead of Lewis Hamilton? That's just madness.

if it aint dutch it aint much,...go max !

Nice objective criteria there. You wonder why I struggle to take some Verstappen fans seriously?

Im a big fan of Verstappen, and now also a big fan of LeClerc. And only because they go for it, But Max has shown great creativity like no other. LeClerc has shown great speed and focus, and is very committed, Just hope Vettel will have some luck soon, i almost petty him. But I also think that these two guys will be the future of F1. But a new Talent could come.

Cmon it is the same everywhere, Britain, France, Germany, Brazil etc.

If love is blind, patriotism has lost all five senses!

I think we should all just celebrate the fact we have such exciting talents in current F1. That has been quite different in recent years.

 

[Novotny]

More mature does not mean mature. A few years ago he behaved like a spoiled child on track. Today, slightly less so, but certainly not 'mature'.

Hopefully by the time he gets to Vettel's age he'll have out-matured him, if he hasn't done so already

 

[Novotny]

The RBR team is not far off the pace of Scuderia Ferrari or AMG Mercedes. Financially they are about the same. Adrian Newley is the designer and wherever he goes championships follow. He took Williams to success and then McLaren in the 90's. They both fell backwards after he left, that is how good he is. Honda is on the up in performance as of late. And Max is not fighting with his team mate Albon. So the team is built around him. Ferrari and Mercedes have 2 drivers fighting for number 1 status.

Well, Ferrari only have one driver fighting for number one status, and that's Vettel. Bottas, on the other hand, is fighting for his contract - not No.1 position.

While he's talented for sure, i gotta say "pump the brakes Jenson".

Link to the show in which Jenson made those comments (worth a listen for the context if nothing else):

https://talksport.com/sport/motorsport/617009/lewis-hamilton-formula-1-jenson-button/

The Lewis Hamilton questions start around 2m5s from the end. Once you hear it, you realise that the hosts are ... well, let me put it this way: It's not Jenson's fault that they would rather hear themselves talk than let him actually answer the questions put to him.

It did sound like everyone had a great time, though!

Not the fastest driver of all time, possibly the fastest of his generation.

 

[mogotron]

Oh God Please! they trying so Hard to make this guy the "God" of F1 and I am Sick of it, there are Better Drivers on the Grid IMO. he is Definitely NOT the best or Fastest ever.

 

[ivanalesi]

Well, JB has had some quite interesting and fast teammates! Starting with Ralf, JPM as tester, Fisico, Trulli, Webber, Alonso, Rubens & then Lewis. He has beaten them all, so he knows what he is talking about.
But knowing JB, he's choosing his words very carefully - it's fastest. Not the best
Leclerc IMHO is the more intelligent driver and long-term he might have more success than Verstappen. Of course, it's all down also to luck. Imagine if Lewis didn't agree to go to Mercedes and they've gotten someone else? I.e. Hulkenberg? They'd still have the same number of titles anyway and the Hulk would be a WDC...

 

[Nick Gregory]

The only true way to prove how fast any F1 driver is, is to stick them in the same car. I auggest an old Suzuki around a WWII airfield.

All comes down to hardcore Dutch nationalism. That kiddo is being carried on a golden plate. Finally the Dutch people have a social common light in their boring lonely existence no matter how he performs. Truly hilarious

So many poison in such a short post.
Simple Anthrax mail seems like more subtle approach.

 

[paracletus]

In all fairness, part of the reason that leclerk and verstappen look a lot better than the majority is the car capable of winning a race. Noone else has that.
Early days yet, but so far Albon is keeping up with verstappen now.

Exactly... and the most hilarious of it all: He's born in Hasselt, lives in Monaco, his hometrack is Spa, he's hardly to be found within the Dutch borders, only for promoting activities once or twice a year. Which Dutchman? The guy is Belgian. The Netherlands claims him due to the Verstappen name, but nevertheless he remains Belgian. It hurts my eyes to read 'the Dutchman' every time.

Tricky one. I will go for Max. Would be nice to see them in same car, I think Max would edge it. The problem with Leclerc (at the moment) is that he tries too hard to say and do the right thing in front of the media. None of it seems natural and he come across as a corporate machine. Maybe this will change as he establishes himself in F1.
