Max Verstappen stepped onto an F1 podium for the 81st time in Baku, surpassing Ayrton Senna's tally of 80. But there's a lot more that links the Red Bull driver with the three-time world champion, writes Matt Bishop
Viewing Formula 1 through the prism of the 2023 season, Verstappen reminds me of Senna in many ways, and Lewis Hamilton of Alain Prost. For many years Hamilton, like Prost, was universally hailed as the best driver in the world, and, despite his advancing years (he is 38), he could stake a robust claim to that ranking still, as could Fernando Alonso, who is almost four years Hamilton's senior.
But, as Senna was throughout a Formula 1 career that never allowed him to grow old, Verstappen is surely now the fastest driver in the world, and he may also be the best.
