He is something unbelievably special.

I look at him and just see Max Verstappen, but then you hear Martin Brundle speak about him, and Brundle was a teammate of Ayrton Senna, and he just says, all I see is Ayrton Senna in this kid.

Like, he is going to be something special.

unbelievably special for this sport for, I mean, you say 10 years, but 10 years time, he's only 28, 29.

Like he could be in the sport for 15, 20 years.

And he is, he has landed, you know, at a great place.

Mercedes is the dominant team this year, but he is the dominant driver and he is completely bamboozled.

He's more fancy teammate, George Russell, and he is in rare air.

Five straight wins is ridiculous for a teenager and,

And it's kind of cool, to be honest with you, like all the great drivers win on the streets of Monaco.

It is the crown jewel in the sport.

And for him to have had such a dominant weekend, sweeping the weekend with pole position, with the most laps led, with the fastest lap, and an absolutely commanding win, just shows the class of the kid.

No, it's that he's so good.

And you saw that in qualifying on Saturday, that the Ferraris were probably the fastest cars this weekend.

And he trounced them both in qualifying with his scintillating last lap.

But the fact, what he's doing to George Russell is honestly gobsmacking that you go back to March in Melbourne when George Russell had pole position, won the Albert Park Grand Prix.

And you thought then that Mercedes was clearly, and everyone knew they were going to be the pace setter heading into the season because they had their heads around these new cars and these new engines better than anyone else.

And you just thought with George Russell, who has bided his time in this sport,

for nearly a decade, that this was going to be his year.

Finally, he was out of the shadow of his longtime teammate, Lewis Hamilton, and this was going to be the year that he was the champion.
