In the middle of a dominant campaign, Max Verstappen showed shades of Michael Schumacher during his most recent victory at Spa. Mark Hughes analyses their similar "scoresheets of genius"
Amid Spa's forested valleys, echoes of the past hang in the air like the spray from the tyres. No race weekend there is ever exactly like a previous one but there are always chimes, little pin pricks in the memory which resonate with the race's past here.
Parallels and contrasts were everywhere last weekend and some of the key points took me smack-bang back to 1994, when Michael Schumacher's dominant Spa victory was disallowed after post-race scrutineering found that the underbody plank of his Benetton was worn away beneath the required legal minimum (something which could have conferred an aerodynamic advantage). There was no such question around Verstappen's resounding victory but plank wear was very much a relevant component in the story of his weekend.
