Gerhard Berger as former Ferrari driver Auto, Motor und Sport asked who could take over from Lewis Hamilton in the short term, Max Verstappen or Charles Leclerc, he answered evasively in the first instance.
“That will not be easy anyway. After all, Hamilton is not only the best driver of the moment, but is also well on his way to becoming the best ever. I have always kept comparisons with Ayrton Senna, since I knew Ayrton well, but I now dare to state with a clear conscience that he has the same qualities. “
If the Verstappen / Leclerc question is repeated, he again owes an answer: “The two differ so immensely from each other. Getting into more aggressive and unpredictable. He does not engage in politics and always shouts what he thinks. He does that as hard as possible , so that everyone hears it, and that’s how he drives. “
“Leclerc, on the other hand, gives the impression that he is a bit calmer, thinks more about things,” the Austrian continues. “He is more calculated. Like I said, both drivers are completely different, but purely looking at what they can do, they are not inferior to each other.”
