Max Verstappen, the reigning world champion, has been annihilating his competition at the pinnacle of motor racing for some time. Under the ongoing ground-effect era, he has proved pretty much invincible, and ahead of the Austrian GP, the former F1 team owner, Eddie Jordan has acknowledged his might.

The Dutchman is undoubtedly one of the best drivers on the current F1 grid. Moreover, several of the pundits even see him as ‘the best’ ahead of greats like Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso. Since 2021, Verstappen has amassed three world titles consecutively.

Moreover, he is on course to amass a fourth this year.

I really do believe, in time, he will turn out to be the greatest driver of all time, subject to he will be safe and well for a very long time He has such a phenomenal attitude in the car, he's aggressive when he needs to be aggressive, he's tough when he needs to be tough, you know he's clever as well.
Eddie Jordan said on the Formula for Success podcast

Looking at the reaction of the 76-year-old, it is quite clear that he has left no stone unturned in acknowledging the might of Verstappen. Moreover, Jordan has emphasized certain characteristics that put the Dutchman in a league of his own in F1.

Max Verstappen is making the ‘difference’ at Red Bull

While Jordan has envisioned Verstappen becoming the best driver of all time, Mercedes boss, Toto Wolff has also recently applauded the latter. He genuinely feels that during the ongoing season, the 26-year-old is making all the difference at Red Bull.

In the last four races, Verstappen has amassed 83 points whereas Sergio Perez has only managed to contribute 8.

I think it's Max who wins the races and not Red Bull. The RB20 is solid, but Perez isn't doing well. It's Max who makes all the difference.

The 2024 F1 season is 10 rounds down and has still got 14 races remaining on the calendar. Max Verstappen is leading the championship with 219 points but despite this, he can’t afford to take things easy.

McLaren, Ferrari, and Mercedes have stepped up their game big time and are steadily making up lost ground. Keeping in view everything that has been discussed, this week’s Austrian GP is the perfect opportunity for Verstappen to put a bit more daylight between himself and the rest of the chasing pack.
