And that makes Verstappen a naturally talented driver and better than Hamilton.
I guess that if you are a big enough fan and only started watching F1 after Verstappen started you could convince yourself that could be true.

But better than Senna!... I can't take anyone who believes that at all seriously.
For sure A.Senna is a legend in the winning years that his nephew Bruno could not get close to afterwards.
Unfortunately for Ayrton at the time he didn't realise he could not continue in the way he wanted, chopping and changing suspension and steering components in his Williams to questionable levels to be competitive and the cruel truth is he simply went too far with it at San Marino with Williams not intervening to stop him and the rest is history.
