Max Verstappen: The Unrivaled King of the F1 Circuit, Claims Ferrari Legend

In the high-octane world of Formula 1, a heated debate rages on about who truly wears the crown as the best driver. However, one voice echoes louder than the rest: Luca di Montezemolo, the iconic former head of Ferrari, who has unambiguously declared Max Verstappen as the undisputed champion of the track. At the premiere of the gripping new film “Luca: Seeing Red”, Montezemolo was quick to sing the praises of the Dutch racing prodigy, igniting fervor among fans and critics alike.

“Today, I have to say for me, Verstappen is by far the number one,” Montezemolo emphatically stated, showcasing his unwavering support for the Red Bull superstar. The former Ferrari chief was asked if he would choose Verstappen for his race team, and without hesitation, he extolled the talents of the reigning champion. “He never loses control, he was always quick, he never makes mistakes,” he insisted, highlighting Verstappen’s remarkable consistency and skill even in the most challenging conditions.

Verstappen’s meteoric rise through the ranks of Formula 1 has been nothing short of extraordinary. Making his debut at the tender age of 17 with Toro Rosso in 2015, he quickly made headlines by clinching his first victory with Red Bull Racing just a year later. Now, with an astounding tally of 67 wins and four consecutive championships under his belt, he is solidifying his legacy as one of the greatest drivers of our time.

Despite facing adversity in the current 2025 season, where he trails title leader Oscar Piastri by a considerable 63 points, Verstappen showcased his relentless determination with back-to-back victories in Italy and Azerbaijan. His aggressive racing style and sharp strategic mindset keep him firmly in contention, ready to capitalize on any missteps from competitors.

Montezemolo, who oversaw a golden era at Ferrari, didn’t shy away from comparing Verstappen to the Scuderia’s former duo of Carlos Sainz Jr. and Charles Leclerc. “The couple between Sainz and Leclerc was a very good couple — but no question. Verstappen is by far the best in my view. By far,” he asserted, emphasizing that no other driver currently matches Verstappen’s prowess.

As Montezemolo continued to share his thoughts during the film screening, he expressed confidence in Verstappen’s capabilities, saying, “If tomorrow morning I will be obliged to go to work in Ferrari, in one week I have clear in my mind who to put in different positions.” It’s abundantly clear that Verstappen would be his first selection.

As the racing world gears up for the remainder of the season, all eyes will be on Max Verstappen. With his unyielding ambition and unmatched skill, he is not just racing for points—he’s racing for legacy. This season promises to be a thrilling chapter in Formula 1 history, and if Verstappen has anything to say about it, he will once again emerge as the ultimate victor. The showdown continues, and fans everywhere are on the edge of their seats!
