Max Verstappen confidently leads the drivers’ standings after three races of the season and will claim his third championship title in 2023. Former Formula 1 driver Johnny Herbert already considers the leader of Red Bull Racing one of the best in history.
Johnny Herbert: “For me, Max is already one of the best drivers ever. When evaluating riders I always pay attention to stability and Max doesn’t make any mistakes. Even before he won the first title, everyone said he was capable of a lot and would achieve a lot.
I like to follow Max – I admire his actions on the track. Exactly the same strong impression on me a few years ago driving Lewis Hamilton. His career is not over yet, but the wow factor is a thing of the past.
When racing, Max knows how to use his elbows, and no matter how you feel about this style of driving, this is an integral part of the fight on the track. Max manages to do incredible things behind the wheel. He’s doing great now, but it’s hard for me to say what spot in the all-time rider standings Max holds. Times were different, so it’s hard to compare.”
