F1: Rosberg warns Hamilton – Verstappen is only getting started

Nico Rosberg believes Max Verstappen can already be considered among F1’s “best of all time” and has warned he is “only getting started”.

“He is an incredible driver,” Rosberg told Sky Sports F1’s Any Driven Monday.

“I think it’s easy to say even now that’s he’s going to be one of the best of all time, if you look at the statistics he actually even is now.

“He’s a double world champion with all of the race wins that he has, more than [Fernando] Alonso.

“He’s already one of the best of all time and, I think, he’s only getting started.

“He’s going to confirm that in the next decade, certainly. His level of driving is phenomenal, and it’s great to witness that.”

“We need to remember also, it’s not like from the get-go this year his car was miles quicker than everyone else’s,” Rosberg added.

“The Ferrari was the quickest car in the beginning of the season and still, he got this incredible 15 wins and really destroyed the opposition in that way.

“If you look at the points, he scored 146 more than anybody else, it’s unreal. It’s one of the greatest driving seasons we’ve ever seen certainly.”
