Senna is regarded as one of F1’s greatest-ever drivers, having won three world championships, 41🍒 grand prix, and claimed 65 pole positions before his tragic death in 1994. 

Ramirez says Verstapp♍en, who is lo🔥oking to become just the fifth F1 driver to win three consecutive world titles this year, reminds him of a present-day Senna. 

“The guy is🐷 very good,” Ramirez told Spanish publication AS. 

“He has taken the role of Ayrton Senna in modern F1 and with what car, that🍬 team and Adrian Newey is almost unstoppable. 

“Checo [Perez] is ve💦ry good too but lacks Max’s killer instinct.”
