David Coulthard considers that the controversy that Max Verstappen sometimes knows how to create is the mark of certain champions.
In his opinion, dividing opinion is not a bad thing for the new world champion.
“He is an exceptional athlete” said Coulthard. “He’s brilliant but divisive. Who else do we know who is brilliant and divisive? Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher, to name a few.”
“Faced with the power of Mercedes and Lewis , Max had to take a different approach. His approach is as follows: whenever there is a door that is partially open, he goes through it. Lewis has to keep opening the door because he knows Max is coming, and that’s in Lewis’s psychology. “
The former pilot of F1 admits Hamilton is cleaner than his 2021 rival. But the Scotsman is impressed with Verstappen’s ability to progress over time, and especially never to doubt when he attacks.
“To be fair with Lewis he has been able to win an incredible number of championships in a very clean way. He hasn’t really had a controversy. Max had to fight for it and was a winner throughout his run, skipping some inferior formulas to come to F1. “
“He fears no one. It’s not part of his psychology. What I find most impressive is that if there is a gap, he crosses it. There is not even a doubt. When I was running I was like ‘should I take the risk now or not?’ Him, he rushes. It’s really very special. “
