Eddie Jordan has described 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen as “168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Michael Schumacher in disguise” when reflecting on th🐻e Dutchman’s driving at the Mexico City G🐈rand Prix.

Verstappen was hit with two 10-second time penalties in Mexico for incidents with F1 title rival L168澳洲5最新开奖结果:ando Norris.

U💃nsurprisingly, Verstappen has been subject t♔o criticism, with Martin Brundle warning the Red Bull driver that he risks tarnishing his legacy.

1996 F1 world champion Damon Hill accused Verstappﷺen of ‘Dick Dastardly’ tactics.

Speaking on the podcast, Jordan likened Verstap🙈pen to the iconic German driver.

“Yes, he was very, very tough in Mexico,” Joᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚrdan said. “Listen, we kꦐnow he is Michael Schumacher in disguise, isn’t he? Honestly. Max is just a demon when he gets into that car. Puts the helmet on and the horns grow.

“And, I think Mexico, they give a good slap on the🐽 wrist, and I hope he learns from it, because some of the stuff that we saw is not necessarily what we would like to se🐻e.

“But nevertheless, that’s Max race, and💞 thaಞt’s his style, and he’s not going to lose that. He probably gets it from Jos, his dad.”

Co-host David Coulthard added: “Basically what Max has done, he’s the modern-day Michael Schumacher in that he’s prepared to push the boundaries to find out where the sporting lines are,” said the Scot. “And I think that aജbsolutely is part of his DNA, part of his success, is the fact that every single driver knows that they have got to fight fire with fire.

“I guess it was inevitable after the debate oꦕf what we saw in Austin that penalties would be applied in Mexico. But I don’t suspect one moment Max will do anything different if the same situation arises.

“And I think also the other thing is, you’re going to make split-second decisions as the car is moving at pace, and you don’t know who’s ahead at the apex 🥂until you get to the apex and the only way you find out is by trying. So I don’t expect him to change at all.

“Actually, the fact that he’s different to the others is wꦯhat makes it so… every sport needs the favourites and the baddies and all the stuff that’s ꧟in between.”
