The rising F1 star that even has Hamilton impressed
When a three-time Formula 1 world champion picks a driver ahead of Max Verstappen as grand prix racing's most impressive talent, you know they must be doing something right - and giving their current employer a headache
At the end of a recent special Autosport interview with Lewis Hamilton, I asked the triple world champion which of Formula 1's current crop of young, emerging stars was most impressing him.
Inevitably Max Verstappen's name came up. We all know how relentlessly impressive Verstappen has been during his short time in F1 so far, and Hamilton has referred to him as a "force to be reckoned with" on more than one occasion.
