Victory is a beautiful thing, the championship title is even more beautiful, but perhaps the most beautiful thing is when your rivals recognize you. Especially when they're the ones you consider role models.
Max Verstappen has never made a secret of how much he appreciates and likes Fernando Alonso. Now Alonso hasn't... One of the greatest champions of all time, if not the greatest, honored Verstappen and at the same time pointed out something very interesting:
"There's no denying it, Max has clearly done the best job this year, getting things out of the RB20 that weren't actually there... He deserves enormous praise for that! Not just for winning his fourth title, but for doing so with a car that was far from dominant. We've often seen moments from him that can't be attributed to the car, but to his genius. The best example is the Brazilian Grand Prix, where he showed what true talent means.
There was no better driver than him this year, we can all only learn from him!” - the two-time world champion from Spain praised Max Verstappen to the skies.
