Domenicali, CEO of Formula 1 seems to reincarnate Michael Schumacher’s young era in Max for this generation. As Verstappen, he has nothing more to prove himself to the sport. The next step for Max is only to break the records set by the previous giants.
“Max is still very young, but already a champion who has proved that he attracts a lot of people. I almost said Michael earlier, instead of Max, because in his time Schumacher also showed how important it is to be such a superstar. Someone who can create something unique anywhere in the world. Max is starting to do that now too,” said Stefano.
