Max Verstappen drives his F1 car with a lot of maturity for someone his age. He is on the verge of winning his 2nd World Championship after winning 11 races this season. Dan Fallows, Technical Director of Aston Martin F1 team, compares the similarity between a soon-to-be 2-time champion and a current 2-time champion, Fernando Alonso.

Having worked with Max Verstappen at Red Bull, Fallows will soon work with the El Matador of F1 next year. He compares the similarity between the two drivers. Dan further explains how both these World Champions drive their F1 car with ease, as if like they were a go-kart.

He said, “There are drivers, like Fernando and Max, who drive these F1 cars as if they were karts. I find it absolutely extraordinary that they can treat a car as sophisticated and fast as a Formula 1 in the same way that they treat a kart, but they do It’s up to us to give them a car they can drive like a kart.” (Translated with google translate)

The Briton also states how both these drivers like to push the car to the limits, or even beyond them. He adds, “I don’t know Fernando very well, so my understanding of his driving style is based on what others have said. He has a reputation for driving a lot by feel – he really likes to feel the limits of the car.”
