Those who had witnessed Senna in his prime often assert that Max Verstappen comes close to the late driver characteristically. However, it is difficult to gauge who could be rated as the better driver between the two. Howbeit, a former teammate of Senna, Gerhard Berger, who was also a close friend of his, rates Verstappen higher than Senna.

Records Favour Verstappen
