The Verstappen vs Leclerc title fight is looking like it's going to be one of the most exciting we've seen since... well last year I guess. But what's the story, what's the history between these two lads, so similar in age.

Let's talk about it.

  • Crazy to think that Max and Charles are only separated by 16 days but Max has almost twice the amount of years in F1 than Charles.
  • Lewis: That's some dangerous driving, man Charles: Just an inchident on the race
  • @stuffzie8329
    "Leclerc and verstappen are going to have a great 2022 battle." Ferrari strategy team:
  • @Sk0lt
    There is a story that Van Amersfoort (the team owner F3) spoke to a journalist about Max saying he was a once in a generation kind of talent. A year later he spoke to the same journalist, I know what I told you last year, but I have another one, this time talking about Charles of course.
  • Everytime I think about the fact Max has 8 years of F1 experience my mind is blown
  • Charles definitely has more emotional and special journey than Max. This man went through 3 death throughout his career. Won F2 Baku by big margin 3 days after his father died. His first win after Hubert died and his godfather Jules Bianchi death. Overcoming these death at such young age definitely changed his ability as a driver
  • @ac3035
    the fact that they are 16 days aparte and faced each other on 33 ocasiones from 2010 to 2013 is insane considering their F1 numbers are #16 and #33, what kind of predestined (CL) rivalry is this!?!?!?!?
  • @NardKoning
    Max didn't actually have that much money backing. His advantage comes from being taught all the tricks by both parents at an early age. Jos had trouble paying for Max before F3 already I believe.
  • @jac87effenberg
    This battle is what I was waiting for since Charles entered F1. I have always been sure that these two, being the same age, would have battled for at least 10 Yeats in this category, and having these two generational talento comepting against each other is our best luck as fans :)
  • @srikarm985
    It was Senna vs Prost, then it was Schumacher vs Everyone, then late it was Hamilton vs Vettel, now it is Leclerc vs Verstappen.....
  • @EpicLiima
    Max and Charles share a lot elements what Schumi and HĂ€kkinen had. The long history from karting to this day is clearly seen as mutual respect with no BS type of communication.
  • @seth5884
    Personally still got Max to win the WDC mostly due to his previous experience in such a close title fight. I think he'll be more consistent over the season... assuming the reliability gets sorted.
  • @Drrolfski
    This rivalry has probably even more potential than the Max vs Lewis one. And I actually really enjoyed the epic gloves-off, battle-of-the-generations, class-of-their-own title fight between Max and Lewis in 2021.
  • @jkliao6486
    I think Leclerc is on 2019's Verstappen level. Capable of winning a championship but not as dominant in terms of as a driver. Really looking forward to this season and beyond.
  • I’ve watched F1 since 2001, and to tell you the truth, I’ve never seen anyone driving like Max does. Pure hard and consistency!
  • @xxKURTMANxx
    As a Max fan I’m probably a little biased but there’s no doubting Leclerc’s talent.
  • Max never really had F2 career and jumped from F3 to F1 is blowing my mind.
  • @braineater65
    I prefer Charles way of racing, almost always proper wheel to wheel racing with him. Max is a monster of a racer tho and might get the better of him this year, if redbull fixes the reliabilty issues... I just hope the two of them will have the greatest of rivalries in the history of the sport!
