Gerhard Berger: "Max Verstappen is going to be champion"

Gerhard Berger has compared Max Verstappen to one very special former F1 driver...Aryton Senna. Berger was once Senna's team-mate and in the Formula 1 cafe on Friday night, he seemed certain that Max Verstappen will one day become World Champion.

"Max reminds me a lot of Senna, especially his aggressiveness that he shows during races," Berger said.

Verstappen has won one race this season and has made four appearances inside the top three. Berger went on to confirm he spotted the Dutchman's talents in Formula 3 and karting a few years back.
