Verstappen claimed his seventh consecutive victory of F1 2023 at the Hungaroring last time out.

It means he’s now 110 points clear of Red Bull teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez, thus on course to secure a third 🍰consecutive drivers’ title.

By the end of the season, it’s likely Verstappen will move ahead of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sebastian Vettel and into third in the all-time F1 winners list.

Speaking to , Herbert - who won three rac🐼es during his own F1 career - thinks Verstappen will ulꦗtimately go down as the greater driver.

“Ma♚x Verstappen is a once in a generational talent,” he said. “There is always one individual who comes along who is better than the last – notwithstanding the technological advan𒆙ces. 

“Max will be better than Lewis, Lewis was better than♏ Michael 💎Schumacher, and Schumacher was better than Senna. It just evolves. 

“Max has grown ཧup so much as a driver. He just doesn’t fly away into the distance. He will judge it and do just what he needs to do. 

“That is the change from the Max🧜 of old. Because of that I do not see anyone yet getting themselves on to the same level as Red Bull.

“A bad day for Max was𒊎 second. A bad day for him now is first!”

Herbert also made clear that if Hamilton was to leave Mercedes, George Russell would be perfectly suited to lead the team in the seven-time world champ♒ion’s absence .

“It would not be the end of the world because they have got George Russell,” he added. “I think he is more than capable of taking over if he had to because he fits in brilliantly, he is mature and he has g🦩ot the speed that is needed."
