And that makes Verstappen a naturally talented driver and better than Hamilton.
I guess that if you are a big enough fan and only started watching F1 after Verstappen started you could convince yourself that could be true.

But better than Senna!... I can't take anyone who believes that at all seriously.
Where did you get Hamilton only did a handful of laps in the MP-4 22? That is false LOL.

You have to factor in that prior to 2009 testing by all, rookies included, was virtually unlimiited compared to 2009 up to the present which is severely limited in comparison.

And Ricciardo THEN was absolutely not a mid-fielder at best. His form then was up there. He even beat Vettel at Red Bull before Vettel left for Ferrari.
