Verstappen reminds me of Schumacher, says Ferrari’s Ross Braw

London — Former Ferrari technical director Ross Brawn says 70th Anniversary race winner Max Verstappen reminds him of Formula One great Michael Schumacher.

Verstappen’s win for Red Bull lifted him to second in the championship after five races, behind six-times champion Lewis Hamilton, and ended Mercedes’ run of domination. Sunday’s win was the ninth of Verstappen’s career. The 22-year-old Dutch driver, whose father Jos was once a teammate of Schumacher’s at Benetton, was already the youngest winner in Formula One history.

“I loved his radio, particularly when he said he didn’t want to ‘drive like a grandma’ when the team asked him to manage his tyres. It shows huge confidence and a relationship in the team, which is very strong.”
