Victory is a beautiful thing, the championship title is even more beautiful, but perhaps the most beautiful thing is when your rivals also recognize your merit. Especially when they are those you consider role models.
Max Verstappen has never hidden how much he admires and appreciates Fernando Alonso. Now, Alonso has not made… One of the greatest champions of all time, if not the greatest, paid tribute to Verstappen and also shed light on something very interesting:
“There’s no doubt, Max has clearly done the best job this year, he’s gotten things out of the RB20 that weren’t actually there… Huge congratulations to him for that! It’s not just because he won his fourth title, but because he did it with a car that wasn’t dominant at all. We’ve often seen flashes of genius from him that can’t be attributed to the car, but to genius. The best example is the Brazilian Grand Prix, where he showed what talent really means.”
"This year there was no better driver than him, we can all learn from him!" - praised the Spanish double world champion Max Verstappen.
