“Max reminds me of Michael Schumacher”

Ross Brawn is full of praise for Max Verstappen after his victory at Silverstone: “Max was simply sensational at Silverstone. He reminds me of Michael Schumacher in many ways. When you listen to his radio, he’s clearly got spare capacity.”

“The limit of the car is not the limit of Max Verstappen. Like Michael, he is able to feel the subtlety of the car and respond perfectly.”

“I remember Max’s early days in F1 where his speed was clear – he has now matured in to an exceptional racing driver. I loved his radio, particularly when he said he didn’t want to “drive like a grandma” when the team asked him to manage his tires. It shows huge confidence and a relationship in the team, which is very strong.”
