​@@sandalphoncpu this feels like a big thumbsuck to prove some point. I don't think Max is the type of driver who was well liked by fans in the beginning, even now it feels like something special is lacking is his character. That being said, if you look at F1 objectively and have the priviledge of having watched the sport for the last 20 years through eras of the modern day greats like Schumi, Alonso and Vettel its almost apparent that Max really is the best amongst them all. Appart from Alonso, who will always think he is the very best to grace the sport, all of the others will most probably agree that Max edges out everyone else.

[@Drrolfski]

A few months later: this item aged like fine milk

[@EntropicExergy]

Couple of points here. The Suzuka gap Max had is even more impressive when you consider that they only did about half a race because of all the rain. He basically pulled a gap of about a second a lap in the rain, the gap would have been almost double had the full race been ran. Besides that, i think Max is very much better than Vettel ever was. Max is better at wheel-to-wheel and has better racecraft than Vettel ever did. Max has won from various positions on the grid, where Vettel has only won when he started from the first three positions. Since the race is more of a marathon, where qualifying is more of a sprint, i'd say Max is the better racer. In the race you need to not only be fast, also very consistent with lap times, have to do strategy and pit stops etc., where qualifying is just be fast, which is a lot simpler when you ask me (though not necessarily easy, mind you). Max is fast as well as consistent and can basically make any strategy (except for maybe the most outlandish, though they might just try that once) work. Add to that Max had to contend with a ferrari that was clearly a better qualifying car than a race car, where the RB is the very opposite. All in all, it adds up to Max being better than Vettel ever was. Not to mention Vettel wasn't able to do much at ferrari, so he isn't all that ruthless. Max would go to ferrari and either do the same as Schumacher did or destroy that entire team from within. He is ruthless enough not to take any shit from them whatsoever. Vettel was far more impressed and in awe of finally getting to drive for the same team as his hero did, that took a lot of his edge away from him. Max does not have that problem.

[@arijankolic8331]

Incorrect: Schumacher won 13/18 in 2004 and 11/17 in 2002. However, arguably his 2002 campaign was the superior, as the 17/17 podiums finishes means a staggering 100% percentage that's mathematically unsurpassable.

[@No1.SPEAKINGTHETRUTH]

I find it both laughable and nonsensical to say only Lewis Hamilton was Max's only closest opposition, because Max won 10 races and Lewis winning 8 races, but Lewis only had 5 wins until he took his last engine, which was so fast that it won the next 3 races easily and would of won the 4th and last race if it wasn't for a safety car. On the other side, you had Max, who didn't have a spare brand new engine like Lewis had, and the reason for that is because Lewis took Max clean out of the race at Silverstone and sent him into the wall at 185mph and ruined that engine. So Lewis was at fault for the incident and penalised for it, but he still won the race and gained 25points over Max and gained an extra engine too. Each driver is allowed 3 engines per season, roughly working out at 7 races per engine, but Max had to do 11 races with each engine or get a 5 place grid penalty and put him behind Lewis on track. It was clear to see that the Mercedes of Lewis with the brand new engine was by far quicker than every other car on track, including the sister Mercedes car. So in my opinion, if Lewis hadn't of taken Max out of the race at Silverstone, he would either of won, as he was in the lead at the time, or he would of finished 2nd and giving him 18 points and still have 3 engines and that would of made the 5 races very different, but even if Lewis did still win them races, the 25points for winning or the 18 points for coming 2nd at Silverstone, would of been enough either way for Max to win the title even by finishing 2nd in the last race. So people who say he didn't deserve it, are just ignorant or biased towards Lewis but either way, Max had nothing to do with the decision-making off track, he was only in control of what happened with him and his car on the track, and that is certainly NOT CHEATING!

Max is the best ever 🥳

[@ernestogasulla7763]

The simple answer is, as great as Seb was, during his dominating years Webber was very close to him and often beat him, while once Max matured a bit, he was simply unbeatable by any teammate. Lewis was beaten by Nico and needed a spineless #2 like Bottas (who still managed to beat him sometimes) to secure his string of WDCs. As I write this, Max just won at Spa lapping between 1 and 2 seconds faster than anyone else, after starting 6th because of a gearbox replacement penalty. Neither Seb nor Lewis ever achieved that level of superiority.

Verstappen in his early years was known as Crashstappen for a reason, you know, so I think he'd have done even worse than Seb did, if we assume he's in his third year in F1, like Seb was back in 2009.

[@Emulator833]

@@mrsheev9131 I know you are trying to be fair but i dont think thats fair either because Vettel raced in other open wheel formula racing cars for 4 years before he was in F1 while it was only 1 year for Max. Max jumped from karting to F1 so fast that he had to gain that experience in an F1 car for his first few years while Vettel and every(almost?) other driver already had years of experience in an open wheel formula car. So i dont think you can compare Max's third year in F1 with Vettel's third year in F1.

[@elisabethformulabiased]

@@mrsheev9131 I personally think Max is the better driver, but many people are blinded by nostalgia. Sebastian was great at driving that particular car, but once the regulations changed he was beaten by every single teammate and seemed to struggle a lot. Sebastian has a championship contending car for 6 seasons (arguably 7) while this is only Max’s 3rd year with a championship contending car.

Of course Newey is the GOAT. Please make a video about the best car designers.

Both the actions of Vettel and Verstappen were paybacks to their teammates… would have been better if mentioned it. They are teamplayers until you cross them.. Shines a more honest light then just being greedy

I think all the Seb fans are a littlebit fan of Verstappen aswell. Is verry posible. But who the better driver is, between Vettel & Verstappen. Then my answer gona be Max Verstappen. For all who read this. .. who is the better one? Sebastian or Max??

Max.

Verstappen will surpass Seb next year in terms of total wins and equal his record on titles, I will reserve my comment until November 2024.

[@thekingslayer5575]

He could do it (total wins) this season if he wins 7 out of remaining 8 races which looking at current situation seems highly likely.

[@dead_locked]

I think you don't have to wait for next year :)

[@thekingslayer5575]

[@T0MMYMATTH3WS]

Vettel had a lot more competition

[@seemelater5056]

For now I think Seb is definitely better than Verstappen, however if you just let Verstappen cook few more seasons he might just become better than Seb, and i kinda feel (with how he drives, thinks and thrives) that Verstappen will become 7 times or perhaps more.

[@RedWeather2004]

Verstappen is already better than Vettel ever was. Only thing Seb has is more pole positions, more championships and the youngest WDC

[@priyanshupradyot]

No one gets more hate for being too good except a Red Bull driver who's surname starts with V.

[@chrisdingley9277]

Once this season is finished compare Max’s season to Vettel’s and it will be a crazy difference. I think max will get 17-18 wins this season, he has already won by 30+ seconds multiple times and is not looking like slowing down considering he just won Hungry with 33 seconds to spare and in Austria pitted at the end last lap to go for fastest lap and still won. He is crazy dominant this season and I think once it is all said and done it will easily be the most dominant season ever seen in a Redbull

[@anish91000]

Max will be top 3 greatest once he is done. Myabe even the greastest who knows. Same cannot be said about Vettel. Great guy but nowhere close to Max Lewis Schumi.

You stupid Vettel won his titles in the most competitive era ever and like today nice try kid 😂😂😂 don’t be brain dead

[@pedromoraes1689]

7 seasons? Yeah, he had a championship contending car at Red Bull in those 4 years but at Ferrari, the only time he had a real competitive car was 2018. Maybe you think the 2017 car was competitive, but it wasn't at the same level of Mercedes (2017 Belgian gp showed this) and the 2019 car was build following Leclerc's driving style. That also happened in 2020.

[@SirP83]

Sebs the goat

[@the1gladiator2]

Vettel himself has stated that Verstappen was doing things that he wasn't capable of. I think a better comparison is the fact that Verstappen was able to beat Hamilton in 2021 in an inferior car, where Vettel failed in 2017 and 2018 in a similar inferior car. I think it is pretty obvious that Verstappen is the more consistent driver. And you can't really separate Vettlel 2013 from Vettel 2014 - 2022. It just reflects on how dominant Vettels car actually was in 2013.

[@arijankolic8331]

You lie to much If verstappen was in that Ferrari he would have killed himself😂😂😂

[@the1gladiator2]

​@@arijankolic8331 Past 50 races Verstappen has made only 1 significant unforced error (Singapore 2022). There is no driver as consistent as Verstappen at the moment and probably ever at any point in the history of the sport. He currently has 92% of the maximum number of points available this season over 9 races and 2 sprint races. What exactly am I lying about? I don't even know why I bother. You're just another random fool who makes claims without providing any evidence. Stupid people should not spread their stupidity, Unfortunately social media gives people like you too much of a platform to do so.

[@Christzo18]

Bro really compared Ferrari and RB also remind me of one dominant car that has only one of the drivers win a race that season remember in the same dominant car Webber didn’t win a single race and finish a very distant 3rd in the championship
