VicVenom 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2017 Verstappen: Easily the best driver of the year Outperformed the same driver that made Vettel run away from Red Bull with the tail between his legs. He's won two races where the Ferrari had a faster car. Only Alonso and perhaps Hamilton could give him a run for his money. The Verstappen era has arrived!

Ocon? He'd be smashed. He's nothing special at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruslan 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2017 We will know much more next season. It appears that he has finally gotten the edge over DR this season. As this guy may be more truly more dislikeable than Alonso/Vettel/Hamilton (pick your poison)....I find it particularly difficult to warm up to him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least Verstappen is honest and genuine. Vettel often lies thought his teeth. Just like his fanboys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruslan 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2017 Vettel can be absolutely charming, funny and pleasant in-between his infamous hissy fits. He is also pretty bright. Verstappen: we shall see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't agree with this, I think that overall DR is still ahead despite the fact that Verstappen looks like he's the darling bud of Red Bull and or the FIA and everyone talks about what he does (which is good, both what he does and the fact that people praise him) but in the end RD is ahead notwithstanding the fact that he had his fair share of bad luck Also whereas Max is usually breaking some rule (the fact that I find some of these rules silly and that I would break them myself isn't an issue here), DR normally manages to get results without breaking the rules and without being perceived as dirty or unfair by his peers, which IMHO is really impressive. I'm not sure that in terms of pure speed DR is on a par with, say, Hamilton, but in terms of racecraft I'd say that he's the best out there (maybe on a par with Alonso) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruslan 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2017 Well, I think your comparison of DR to Hamilton is also appropriate for DR to Verstappen. In terms of pure speed, not on par with Hamilton/Verstappen...but in terms of racecraft......well, DR seems to have a way of bedeviling the best of them.
