Verstappen has annihilated all of his teammates since 2019, starting with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pierre Gasly.

Alex Albon and Sergio Perez have all struggled to get close to Verstappen, leading to theories that either Red Bull design their cars ꦕaround the Dutchman’s driving style or they give him ‘better equipment’.

💛Albon has recently dismissed the first suggestion that Reꦡd Bull build the car around Verstappen.

Watson, who was manager at Toro Rosso 🀅during Verstappen’s stint at the🍸 team, has also played down the ‘better equipment’ argument.

“To this day, I don’t think that෴ [Verstappen’s father] Jos got a fair treatment [alongside Michael S𓆏chumacher] at Benetton,” Watson told Verstappen.com.

“And that has partly♐ ensured that Max understands that aspect of the sport very well: he does not need better equipment, he wants the same equipment. Talent will do the rest.

“I noticed that immediately in Max’s first year with Carlos. Knowing them both, I knew Max would be top dog from the moment🅠 he got in the car with us.

“He didn’t have 💧to play games or be politica🌟l because he’s just incredibly fast. ‘I will do everything I can to help the team move forward, and you will follow me,’ he basically said with his actions.

“And ultimately you want to follow him, because success brings success and people want to follow that. In our team, we supported Max 𓆉because we wanted him⛎ to be successful. We all saw how good he already was.”

Watson believes Verstappen is now comparable to F1 legends Ayrton Senna and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Michael Schumacher.

“In ꦿmy opinion, Max is 🌳exceptional, like Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher.

These types of guys enter Form𒈔ula 1 and immediately ﷽leave their mark on the sport.

“And when you have someone like that on your team, how c♌an you not sup🅰port him with everything you have?”
