Victory is a beautiful thing, and the title of champion is even more beautiful, but the most beautiful thing is when your rivals recognize you. Even more so when those you look up to as examples.
Max Verstappen has never made a secret of how much he appreciates and admires Fernando Alonso. Now Alonso hasn't… One of the greatest champions of all time, if not the greatest, has shown his respect for Verstappen, and at the same time pointed out something very interesting:
"There is no doubt, Max has done the best job this year, he has brought out things from the RB20 that were not there... A huge congratulations to him! Not just for winning his fourth title, but for achieving it with a car that was not dominant at all. Many times we have seen moments of brilliance from him that are not due to the car, but to genius. The best example is the Brazilian Grand Prix, there he showed what true talent means.
This year there was no one better than him, we can all learn from him!” - the double Spanish world champion praised Max Verstappen endlessly.
