In the studio of Ziggo Sport they are very happy with the fact that Max Verstappen is the first Dutchman ever to lead the World Championship in Formula 1. The guys are impressed with how Verstappen drove during the Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday.

"This is truly legendary this day, to win so dominantly at such a circuit. Did you see how he came over start/finish, the penultimate corner. Max, you are a world-beater," said Robert Doornbos. "I'm proud of you."

Verstappen showed who he is

On the final lap, Verstappen went into the straight like drifting."If you also see what he flicks before the finish. That's 'overconfidence'. He shows the guys what car control is. This is just a drift, your signature is there on the track. This is where you show your self-confidence", adds Tom Coronel.

The WTCR driver continues: "This is of course the whole path you walk. Learning, learning, the speed is there and the brutality. The whole Verstappen training feeling, we are going for the world championship. This is a dream after all."

Doornbos agrees with his table mate. "'How he has grown those years as a person and as a driver. He has put the pressure on the team by saying, 'Give me a car that is good enough and I will finish the job'. Then you have to finish it. At the age of 23 he already has so much experience and it all seems to be coming together."

Hamilton unsettled

Lewis Hamilton finished seventh in Monaco and it could have been worse: "He was lucky that Bottas crashed out and Leclerc didn't start, otherwise he would have been ninth. The grumbling on the board radio, you don't see that often", Coronel concludes the analysis.
