Jenson Button ignores Lewis Hamilton and claims Max Verstappen is the most talented driver in F1 history


Jenson Button believes Max Verstappen is the most talented driver in F1 history. Mercedes star Lewis Hamilton, who holds seven world titles, is aiming to win a fifth straight title. Hamilton will become the most distinguished figure in the sport with an unrivalled eighth championship. However, Button believes his former McLaren team-mate does not match up to Red Bull's Verstappen for raw talent but conceded Hamilton is a more complete driver. Speaking ahead of last weekend's Spanish Grand Prix, Button, 41, said: "He's (Verstappen) immensely talented. For raw talent, he's probably the most talented [in history]. I know a lot of people won't agree with me on that. "The most complete driver out there in terms of experience and the way they go about their racing is Lewis Hamilton. But for raw talent, I think it has to be Max. So Red Bull are not going to want to let him go." The 23-year-old trails leader Hamilton in this season's drivers' standings by 14 points ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix a week on Sunday.
