Eddie Irvine: Max Verstappen is the ultimate Formula 1 talent but Hamilton is still the best

Eddie Irvine, a former Formula One driver from Northern Ireland, is most known for his time at Ferrari and his collaboration with Formula One legend Michael Schumacher. In a recent interview, he discussed the championship competition between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, as well as his experience working alongside Schumacher at Ferrari. So far, the 2021 season has been great. Verstappen is clearly the fastest driver right now, but Lewis Hamilton is probably still the best. It's been amazing to see those two go at it. It's going to be a fantastic season, in my opinion. Regarding Verstappen's driving, he's finally gotten his act together after six seasons. He's always been lightning quick, and it's clear that he's by far the most dominant team leader on the grid. He's had a slew of different second drivers in the squad, and none of them have come close to matching him. So it's similar to the Michael Schumacher effect. While Lewis has frequently been out-qualified and surpassed by his teammates, you'd have to say Verstappen is the ultimate talent, even though Lewis is a polished professional with few flaws.
