Patrese Compares Verstappen to Schumacher and Senna

Six-time Formula 1 Grand Prix winner Riccardo Patrese compared Red Bull's four-time world champion Max Verstappen to Michael Schumacher and Ayrton Senna, as reported by Racingnews365.

Riccardo Patrese
Already this year, it’s only because of his ability that he has pole position, and sometimes he wins a grand prix. Max is what I saw in my era with Michael Schumacher and Ayrton Senna. Even with a situation where their team is not the top team, they can still win races and maybe go for a championship. But for a driver like Max, that is not enough. He definitely thinks it is time to make a move. But then what happens at Mercedes, if he goes there, that is another problem.

The Belgian Grand Prix is set to start on July 25. In the championship standings, Verstappen has amassed 165 points, while Red Bull is currently in fourth place in the Constructors' Cup with 172 points.
