No Schumacher, Ecclestone is adamant: “Max Verstappen best ever”

The ranking comes from authoritative source, but it will certainly makeà discussion.

Max Verstappen è the best driver in Formula 1, even in comparison with Michael Schumacher. To consider him è the one who was in charge of Formula 1 even in the years of the Kaiser’s great domination: Bernie Ecclestone. Who also decided to explain whyé of his decision.

"There is no doubt that Max Verstappen is the best driver of all time in Formula 1,” Ecclestone said in an interview for the 'Daily Mail'. Before I would have said Prost, now I say him. Because no one è better than him in getting the best out of the car. He never makes mistakes, always keeps his concentration. So è the mostù great".

Ecclestone also explained whyé, in his opinion, Verstappen outperforms Hamilton: "Lewis è formidable, a huge talent. È able to understand the people around him and get the best out of them. Max, on the other hand, does the same with his car. They are extremely different, and when their adventure in Formula 1 isà concluded they will take divergent paths with each other".

Verstappen, who in Suzuka è returned to victory by dominating the Japanese Grand Prix, had missed the first podium of the 2023 season in Singapore. This will prevent him from equaling the record set by Michael Schumacher himself in 2002, when the German took his Ferrari to the top three positions in each of the season’s races.
