Max Verstappen has been told he "isn't up to" matching the Formula 1 world titles record set by Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher.
The Dutchman already has two to his name, after sealing his second in confusing circumstances at the Japanese Grand Prix on Sunday. And he looks well-placed to add more in the future with Red Bull looking very strong in this new era of car designs.
He needs five more to match the current record, shared by Hamilton and Schumacher. Given the way he has matured and his domination of this year's championship, few would deny Verstappen has the talent and team to at least have a decent chance of threatening that record.
