One of the beautiful things is victory, even more beautiful is the title of champion, but the most beautiful thing is when your rivals recognize you. Especially those you look up to as role models.
Max Verstappen has never hidden how much he respects and likes Fernando Alonso. Now Alonso has not… One of the greatest champions of all time, if not the greatest, paid tribute to Verstappen while also pointing out a very interesting thing:
"There's nothing to add, Max has clearly done the best job this year, he's brought out things from the RB20 that weren't even there... Huge congratulations to him for that! Not only because he won his fourth title, but also because he did it with a car that was definitely not dominant. We've seen flashes from him many times that weren't caused by the car, but by genius. The best example is the Brazilian Grand Prix, where he showed what true talent means.
"He wasn't a better racer this year, we can all learn from him!" - the two-time world champion Spaniard praised Max Verstappen.
