Martin Brundle, like everyone who watched the race at the Canadian Grand Prix, saw a mega-dominant Max Verstappen behind the wheel in the Red Bull. The 64-year-old Brundle explains how this came about in an afterthought of the race at Sky Sports.
"The only real challenge Verstappen faced was collecting an unlucky bird, which sat alongside a brake duct rather than in it or any other cooling duct, and a trip over a nasty kerb - which earlier had spat out George Russell - which he said on the radio with giggles all round that it nearly knocked him out. He's on top of his game and things are falling well," Brundle said.
No one as good as Verstappen
There is no measure of the number-one driver on the car so far. The 25-year-old driver stands head and shoulders above his Formula 1 colleagues on both the grid and in the standings.
"The podium was peak F1 at the moment because three great champions in Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton and Verstappen were joined by Adrian Newey representing the Red Bull team," Brundle explained.
