1997 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve has taken issue with Jeremy Clarkson declaring Max Verstappen potentially the greatest F1 driver ever.

Writing in his column for The Sun newspaper, Clarkson, best known for his appearances on Top Gear, The Grand Tour and Clarkson’s Farm, had said that Verstappen “may even be the greatest driver we’ve ever seen”.

“How can Jeremy Clarkson say Max Verstappen is the greatest of all time?” Villeneuve said in conversation with Grosvenor Sport.
