F1 legend Gerhard Berger says Fernando Alonso’s 2023 season reminds him of his own past. Yes, Verstappen is in this league,” Berger told Kronen Zeitung newspaper. In that year, Senna and Prost won 15 of the 16 grands prix in 1988 – with Berger the only non-McLaren driver to break the perfect run. Berger, however, isn’t sure Red Bull can break McLaren’s record of winning almost 95 percent of all the grands prix in a single season. So even if a clean-sweep for Red Bull is unlikely, Berger thinks Verstappen is in line to eventually smash all of the existing F1 records.
