Ralf Schumacher claimed that Max Verstappen deserves his place amongst ‘the very best drivers in the history of Formula 1’ after the Dutchman claimed yet another stunning victory at the Sao Paolo Grand Prix. Verstappen’s Brazil GP triumph stands as his 17th Victory this season (in just 20 Grands Prix). Ralf Schumacher further introduced his own brother and Formula 1 legend, Michael Schumacher, in his comment as he compared Verstappen to the seven time World Champion.

Ralf Schumacher wrote about the Red Bull driver’s season and his Brazilian GP triumph in his Sky Germany column [as reported by Autosport].

Max Verstappen races from victory to victory, continues to write history and simply didn't make any mistakes in Brazil. I'm not a fan of always drawing comparisons with my brother or Ayrton Senna. They were exceptional in their time. That's Verstappen now too. It's incredible how he does it.

Verstappen has been in incredible form this season, the Red Bull driver has wiped the field with the rest of the grid in multiple showings of his dominance. The 25-year-old has previously been included in multiple ‘best of all time’ lists, However, Michael Schumacher’s own brother championing Max Verstappen’s talent is surely a special occasion.
