Summary
Red Bull boss Christian Horner was recently moved to say that he doesn't think that there's anyone in the world who could match Max Verstappen's performances in this year's Red Bull RB19. But is he right, or might one of his rivals be able to step into the car and get as much (or more) out of it? Mark Hughes, Scott Mitchell-Malm and Edd Straw use that tantalising question as a jumping off point to debate the relative merits of Verstappen as a driver versus his main F1 rivals, including Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc, Fernando Alonso and more.
