00:00 When you say special, it's almost understating what this man is all about.
00:04 He's as good as I've ever seen.
00:05 Aside from records, he's arguably one of the best drivers we've got on the grid.
00:10 There's no question that he fits the category of the greats.
00:20 And it's ongoing.
00:22 I mean, this is almost, like you say, three championships in a row and still going.
00:28 There's no sign anywhere that he's reached the peak.
00:33 Yeah, I mean, it's impressive what he's doing.
00:36 Backed with a good team as well, so it's cool to see that dominance.
00:39 He's obviously quick as anything, but he's aggressive.
00:44 But he's also smart.
00:46 Maybe at the beginning he was too aggressive,
00:50 but now he seems to get it all together in real championship material.
00:54 You know, he's been dominant.
00:55 He's taken advantage of every possibility in the best possible way.
00:59 And I think for any team on the grid, you know,
01:03 they're all enviable of the fact that Red Bull has a contract with this guy.
01:10 He's on fire at the moment.
01:11 There's just every race where you think he might struggle,
01:13 he still pulls one out of the bag and does well.
01:15 I can't fault him for anything at the moment.
01:19 He's as good as I've ever seen.
01:21 There's nothing boring about Max Verstappen.
01:25 The next thing that obviously is of interest is who can beat him.
01:30 That's the point.
01:31 Records are made to be broken,
01:33 and I never thought that Schumacher would have any rivals,
01:38 not in my lifetime.
01:40 And if there's anyone that you could consider, you know,
01:44 to be a record breaker, it's going to be Max Verstappen.
01:48 At 25, it's only beginning.
