Max Verstappen bluntly responds to NASCAR driver’s “I am better than him” claim
Debಞate breaks out after bold claim from Kyle Lar🌃son

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen has responded in trademark fashion to a NASCAR driver’s “I am better than hi🧸m” statement.
NASCAR Cup Series driver Kyle Larson caused a stir ahead of this weekend’s F1 Dutch Grand Prix by insisting he possessed more talent behind the wheel tဣhan the F1 champion.
“I know in my mind I am better than him as an all-around driver,♔” Larson said to about Verstappen.
“There’s no way he 𝄹can get into a Sprint Car and win the Knoxville Nationals. There’s ♓no way he can go win the Chili Bowl. There’s no way he can go win a Cup race at Bristol.
“There’s probably no way ๊I can go win a Formula 1 race at Monaco, but I think I’d have a better shot🀅 at him just because of the car element.
“That’s what gives me ease 😼and confidence that, like, I know I’m better ♉than him.
“Maybe not in anꦬ open-wheel IndyCar or Formula 1 car, but that’s one discipline. I think I would beat him in everyt꧋hing else. You can quote that.”
Verstapp🍒en was given a ch💎ance to respond before his home grand prix.
“That’s fine,” he responded, bluntly. “Everyone thinks their own way, rig🍸ht?"
Do F1 drivers or NASCAR drivers have more talent?
NASCAR and 🏅F1 drivers have waded into this debate.
Kevin Harvick, the NASCAR driver, was quoted by : "If Kyle Larson went to drive Max Verstappen's car, it wouldn't be [in] one or two days, he would be damn close to being as fast as Max Verstappen in the🐠re.
“But there is no way that Max Verstap🍌pen comes over here and does that in a stock💖 car.
"I think Max is extremely talented and v🅠ery, very, very good at what he does for his discipline.
“I heard him talk about drivers being specialised in their discipline. That's not Kyle Larson. Kyle Larson ca♚n go out and drive anything!
“He's very good at his d꧋iscipline, but he's got multiple discipline꧃s. We saw what he did in an IndyCar.
“I truly believe that Max wouldꦗ do okay, but he's not going to do anythi♒ng anywhere close to what Kyle Larson does.
"Some of the arrogance that comes from the international crowd on the media side to just say ‘you can’t do that, Kyle Larson, that's🐈 not even a fair comparison…’
“T🐭hey just don't even know what they'ꦍre talking about."
Fernando Alonso had his say at Zandvoort.
Two-time F1 champion Alonso ಌhas also 🉐won the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the World Endurance Championship, and has also driven at the Indy 500.
He joked: “I don’t know, I think Max is quite [good💯] in GTs as well. And I bet he’s good in everything, but he’s still not as good a𓆉s me!
“You need to adapt very quickly to different disciplines. Oval racing is one thing, a completely in🅰dependent technique and driving skills.
“Dakar Rally, pressing the throttle and the brake at the same time for six houඣrs, just dominating the car, it’s not easy to ൲adapt.”
