NASCAR driver Kyle Larson's bold claim of being a better all-around driver than three-time F1 champion Max Verstappen has sparked significant debate. Verstappen responded diplomatically, emphasizing that every driver excels in their own discipline and downplaying the need for such comparisons. This exchange has further highlighted Verstappen's versatility, especially given his ability to handle the unpredictable RB20 F1 car, unlike his teammate Sergio Perez. Red Bull's development struggles with the RB20 have been a focal point, with Helmut Marko acknowledging that recent upgrades have made the car difficult to manage, although Verstappen continues to perform exceptionally. The debate over driver versatility has also drawn in seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton, adding another layer to the ongoing discourse about the top drivers in motorsport.
