Max Verstappen has built his reputation as the Formula 1 team-mate killer. But, it has not been a case of destruction for all.
After 1997 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve labelled Yuki Tsunoda “the worst” Max Verstappen team-mate, we got our thinking cap on. We have ranked all of Verstappen’s Formula 1 team-mates – from best to worst – to determine who measured up the best, and find the biggest victim.
Max Verstappen F1 team-mates: The best and worst
1. Daniel Ricciardo
Taking top spot on our list, as the most competitive team-mate versus Verstappen, is his former Red Bull counterpart Daniel Ricciardo.
Team-mates between 2016-18, this was a closely-matched pairing. Ricciardo would earn the distinction of being Verstappen’s only F1 team-mate to finish a Championship ahead of him.
