Windsor on his scouting prowess

"I saw him [Verstappen] in Euro F3 for the first time. I never saw him in karts, sadly, but I saw him in Euro F3, and straightaway he just looked like a million dollars," Windsor said. For the Briton, it is therefore no surprise that the 25-year-old driver now tops the championship.

"There was no surprise he adapted so quickly to Formula 1 and went as well as he did. He is that sort of driver. He's just 100% got it in every dimension, one of the greats." said the 71-year-old Formula One journalist.
