'I'm sure with Red Bull and how the things look for the future he will only get better.” Fernando Alonso is full of praise for world champion elect Max Verstappen F1 SingaporeGP
Motorsport Images"I think you cannot teach that,” he said. “I think it has to come from yourself. There are drivers that they need more time, they need to study more data, they need all the Friday to analyse and compare with a teammate and slowly make little steps until they are 100%, ready for quali.
He also compared himself with Verstappen:"I mean that's probably one, or I consider one, of my strengths. And that's why I stopped F1 in 2018 to try different things because I felt that my career was not progressing just being in F1 10th or 12th every weekend, I wanted to challenge myself in different categories, in different cars every weekend, and try to achieve different titles or race wins.
“It happens in a way as well as in a small scale also between my team mates sometimes, that on Friday I'm well ahead and then Saturday and Sunday they are getting better and better.
