Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, and Carlos Sainz. The first has won the last two Formula 1 championships and is the main contender to win the current one as well. The drivers of the Maranello team are instead seeking their ultimate consecration, hoping to soon have a car capable of fighting for the most ambitious goals such as winning the Formula 1 title.
But in terms of performance, do they match the Dutch driver from Red Bull? Piero Ferrari, the only living son of Enzo Ferrari and the Italian company’s vice chairman, answered this question in an interview with Autosprint.
Piero Ferrari’s analysis:
“Extremely fast. He started in Formula 1 when he didn’t even have a driver’s license,” Piero Ferrari says referring to Red Bull Racing Dutch driver Max Verstappen. He then added: “I was in Barcelona when he achieved his first victory in 2016. He made his mistakes, his accidents. Today, he is young and has considerable experience. He is a great driver at the peak of his career.” – the Ferrari vice chairman pointed out.

When asked if Scuderia Ferrari men Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz are on par with the Dutch driver in terms of performance, Piero Ferrari replied: “Charles has the speed to be on par with Max Verstappen. But he has less experience in terms of Grand Prix. Charles Leclerc can improve, he will improve… Carlos Sainz is good, I believe he hasn’t yet fully expressed his potential, we are waiting for him.” – the Ferrari vice chairman concluded.
