Jun.13 – Even before Max Verstappen wins a third world championship, Dr Helmut Marko says the Dutchman is even better than Red Bull’s « best of the best » driver Sebastian Vettel.
Quadruple world champion Vettel won every drivers’ title between 2010 and 2013, but the team’s top Austrian official Marko, 80, says Verstappen is even better.
« We thought that Sebastian was the best of the best – but then Max came along, » he told Sport1.
« Vettel was an extremely meticulous worker with an enormous basic speed, » Marko explained. « But even in this respect, Max is just one step further ahead. »
He said the most remarkable thing about Dutchman Verstappen, 25, is that he doesn’t need any time at all to get up to speed.
« He can go full throttle immediately, » said Marko. « That’s the unbelievable natural talent and the resulting incredible basic speed.
« He has fantastic vehicle control, especially at the limit. »
Red Bull team boss Christian Horner, however, is slightly more diplomatic when comparing 35-year-old Vettel – who retired at the end of last season – with Verstappen.
« They are two very different, phenomenally successful drivers, » he said.
« I think Sebastian, with what he has achieved in his career, is one of the really great and most successful drivers in this sport.
« He worked very, very hard, » Horner added, referring again to the German. « Sebastian’s ability to deal with pressure was fantastic. He has a lot of talent and at the same time he understood that he has to work hard to be the best.
« He wanted to understand every detail of the car and analysed the opponents and their weaknesses. »
And he thinks Verstappen’s achievements are sometimes currently underrated, perhaps because his career is still underway but also because of his personality.
« I think sometimes his achievements aren’t recognised in the way they should be, » said Horner. « It’s an absolutely outstanding performance by a driver who is at the peak of his ability. »
Vettel’s former race engineer at Red Bull, Guillaume Rocquelin, told Eurosport that he thinks Vettel was a more complete driver than Verstappen when they respectively arrived at the team.
But he says Verstappen is still getting better.
« Compared to the other top drivers, he can still improve technically. There is still a lot of room for improvement, » said ‘Rocky’, who is now head of Red Bull’s driver program.
« I think he’ll only get stronger as he gains technical know-how, » Rocquelin added.
He said the most striking change in Verstappen was between 2021 – his first title triumph – and 2022.
« That slightly desperate thirst for success has gone, » he said. « Max has matured a lot and is now driving more consistently at the highest level.
« Winning the first title in 2021 gave him enormous additional confidence. He drives differently than a year ago, that’s clear. »
And already, as the news cycles slow between grands prix, one of the most regular topics now is a debate about whether Verstappen can already be ranked alongside the true greats in motorsport history.
« Max has achieved so much in such a short time, » said Horner. « At just 25, it’s pretty scary to think about what’s ahead of him. »
