Even since winning the 2021 Championship by beating Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen made an entry into the F1 GOAT debate. Nonetheless, Lewis Hamilton is still widely considered the best F1 driver of all time with 7 titles and 103 wins to his name. But Max Verstappen’s sheer dominance, ruthlessness, and perfection on track led a Former F1 Champ to ignore Lewis Hamilton and compare an F1 star to the Dutchman. Who is this star?

It was evident during the 2021 season that both Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton had a very different way of approaching a championship. Hamilton was on the cautious side while Verstappen was on the full-blown attack side. Jacques Villeneuve recently suggested that Hamilton lacks Verstappen-like consistency. The Briton always has an up-and-down season whereas the Dutchman goes full steam ahead. 

According to motorsport.nextgen-auto.com Villeneuve then suggested that only Fernando Alonso comes close to being compared with Verstappen. Villeneuve said “He always has extraordinary energy, he never gives up. And he makes the difference. Verstappen has always been like that, for years. He is at his best throughout the season. It’s amazing how he does it, maybe only Alonso is comparable.” [translated via Google]

The Canadian F1 legend further praised Max Verstappen. The Dutchman has won 8 out of the 10 Grand Prix so far and looks unbeatable at the moment.

Jacques Villeneuve advises that Max Verstappen’s energy is “unbeatable”

Every F1 driver has high moments and low moments. Like Lewis Hamilton, who steps up massively every time he sees even a glimmer of a championship. However, Jacques Villeneuve suggests that Max Verstappen’s energy levels and performance remain the same throughout the season. It doesn’t matter if he’s first or last, he will continue to push no matter what. 

According to motorsport.nextgen-auto.com Jacques Villeneuve said “If you look at most other pilots, they all have ups and downs, often with a lot of differences between them. Not him. I really don’t know where he gets all this energy from. When it is like that, that is to say almost all the time, it is unbeatable.”
