Max Verstappen bluntly responds to NASCAR driver’s “I am better than him” claim
Debate breaks out after bold cl꧒aim from Kyle Larson

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen🍎♛ has responded in trademark fashion to a NASCAR driver’s “I am better than him” statement.
NASCAR Cup Series driver Kyle Larson caused a stir ahead of this weekend’s F1 Dutch Grand Prix by insisting he possessed more ဣtalent behind the wheel than the F1 champion.
“I know in my mind I am better than him as a🐽n all-around driver,” Larson said to aboꦉut Verstappen.
“There’s noꦕ way he can get into a Sprint Car and win the Knoxville Nationals. There’s no way he can go win the Chili Bowl. There’s no way he can go win a Cup race at Bristol.
“There’s probably no way I can go win a Formula 1 race at Monaco, but I think I’d have a better shot at him just because of the car ele🔯ment.
“That’s what gives me ease and ꧙confidence that, like, I know I’m better than him.
“Maybe not in an open-wheel IndyCar or Formula 1 car, but that’s one discipline. I think I woul𒀰d beat him in everything else. You can quote that.”
Verstappen w🦩as given a chance to 🎃respond before his home grand prix.
“That’s fine,” he responded, bluntly. “Everyone 𓃲thinks their own way, right?"
Do F1 drivers or NASCAR drivers have more talent?
NASCAR and F1 drivers have waded into✱ this debate.
Kevin Harvick, the NASCAR driver, was q💯uoted by : "If Kyle Larson went to drive Max Verstappen's car, it wouldn't be [in] one or two days, he would be damn close to being as fast as Max Verstappen in there.
“But there is no way that Max Verstappen comes over here and does th♔at in a stoc💮k car.
"I think Max is extremely talented and very, very, very good ღat what he does for his discipline.
“I heard him talk about drivers🍸 being specialised in their discipline. That's not Kyle Larson. Kyle Larson can g🌄o out and drive anything!
“He's very good at 𝕴his discipline, but he's got multiple disciplines. We saw what he did in an IndyCar.
“I truly believe that Max would do okay, but he's not going to♛ ▨do anything anywhere close to what Kyle Larson does.
"Some of the arrogance that comes from the international crowd on the media side to just say ‘you can’t 𓃲do that, Kyle Larson, that's not even a fair comparison…’
“They just don🦹't even know what they're talking about."
Fernando Alonso had his say at Zandvoort.
Two-time F1 ch🗹ampion Alonso has also won the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the World E😼ndurance Championship, and has also driven at the Indy 500.
He joked: “I don’t kno♍w, I think Max is quite [good] in GTs as well. And I bet he’s good in everything, but he’s s🐼till not as good as me!
“You need to adapt very quickly 🦋to different disciplines. Oval racing is one thing,🙈 a completely independent technique and driving skills.
“Dakar Rally, pressing the throttle and the brake at the same time for six hours, just dominatin🏅g the car, it’s not easy to ada🦂pt.”
