Since him retiring in 2007, Formula One has never been the same. There're no stars in Formula One now after Kimi & Seb retired, now we have weirdos with a joystick approach to racing. Max is different but has a long way to go to reach Kimi and Seb's level and a very long way to go to reach the star power of Michael. Michael Forever.
Verstappen is never beating the "Next Schumacher" accusations. He's always pushing the limits of rules, perfectionist and Oacar Piastri said the exact same line about him "When you have Max Verstappen in a Redbull behind you, it's a completely different feeling. It's not about if, but when he comes through"
He wasn't so good that he didn't have to resort to dirty tricks. '94 in Adelaide when he stole Damon Hill's championship by deliberately crashing them out.
Lol damon hills championship. Hill was only close because the FIA DSQd him in britain. Banned him in monza and estoril. Dsq him in spa. They also changed the cars/safety which greatly benefitted williams and hurt benetton. Michael won the 94 championship in 12 races vs 16 for damon. Damon was never brilliant. By end of 95, dc was faster and in 1996 jacques was almost a match in his rookie year In 97, pedeo diniz outqualified him several times. In 98 hill won at jordan because they told ralf to hold position and in 99, frentzen utterly smashed him.
