Whitey, good to talk motorsport with you.

Hope you're well.

No, this kid is a freak, and he's a teenager.

Yeah.

He was in school last year in his rookie season in Formula One.

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 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.
