F1 icon tells Verstappen: “Easier to win than in my time; I had 65 races a year"
Stewart competed in Formula 1 for nine seasons, winning three championships in the 1960s and 70s. Verstappen is on track to win his third consecutive championship this year, but Stewart believes that today’s F1 is easier to conquer due to the higher number of races. While Stewart had to compete in various other competitions to earn money, modern F1 drivers focus solely on their team and the championship. Stewart recalls traveling much more frequently in his time, having had 65 races in a year compared to the current 24. He acknowledges the improved comfort and luxury that today’s drivers enjoy, but also notes the increased media scrutiny they face. Stewart believes that Verstappen has little room for improvement and that winning multiple titles in a row may be easier for him than it was in his era.
