Three drivers from '95 and from '77 up to nowadays. If you had to put them in order, what would be your pick? Not your favorite, the ones that in your opinion the three best guys? | Pelas Pistas podcast

Clarkson: I'm sort of reminded of Michael when I look at Max Verstappen now. The sort of ruthless streak, the way that it seems the Redbull now only one guy can drive it. It reminds me of the Benetton in the mid '90s, in sort of '94 and '95. None of Michael's teammates could drive that thing anything like as well as he could.

(...) You have to put Max in it if we are going for the best three drivers since then. Do you know, I had a really interesting chat with Gerhard Berger about Max? I was interviewing Gerhard at his house in Austria. He's got one room in his house which has all of his racing memorabilia—nothing else. Any other room? There's no reference to motorsport. There's one room where all his trophies are, his old helmets, and the only helmet of any driver that he has in his house other than his own is Max Verstappen. So, that caught my eye, so I asked, 'Why Max?' And he said, 'I think Max is unbelievable.' And I said, 'How good is Max?' And he said, 'Actually, I think he might be better than Ayrton.' I said, 'That's a big statement coming from you Gerhard', given that they were teammates and friends.
