F1: Marko rates Verstappen vs. Alonso and Hamilton

Dr. Helmut Marko says Max Verstappen is the best driver in F1 today, and only Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton come close.

When asked why Sergio Perez looks to be much slower than his Red Bull teammate Verstappen in the same RB19, Dr. Helmut Marko gave a simple answer to Austrian outlet OE24.

“Because Max is Max,” the Austrian said.

“He’s in the best car, but even in that car, only Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton could keep up.

“Those three are simply the strongest, and Max stands out among them.”
