F1 | Grosjean: “Verstappen is one of the best drivers he has ever seen”

Max's season Verstappen it was definitely perfect. The pilot of the Red Bull he won his second consecutive world title, and from the summer onwards he was effectively impregnable for the competition, including Ferrari, which melted like snow in the sun in the second part of 2022. Romain Grosjean, former Haas and now busy in IndyCar he spoke like this in Motor Sport Magazine about the Dutch champion, also highlighting perhaps the only negative episode of his season, namely his behavior towards Perez in Brazil.

“I think he is one of the best drivers I have ever seen in Formula 1 – Grosjean admitted. This year was 99% perfect, the only flaw was Brazil with that wrong decision, and the message spread was equally so. Apart from this, however, you can't tell him anything, because both in qualifying and in the race he has always been perfect, even when he spun like in Hungary, but he still managed to win the race."

“When you get into that positive spiral and do everything as best as you can nothing can stop you, so it was amazing. I repeat, the only blemish is what happened at Interlagos and he didn't want to let Checo through, but what else do you want to tell him? In certain races he was the strongest of all, like in Spa, there you really understand how he is at another level compared to the others, and it's difficult to be his teammate in those situations, because when you can't replicate his performances you don't you feel great."
