Veteran F1 journalist Peter Windsor believes Formula 1 could be setting itself up for a huge showdown between Max Verstappen and Stoffel Vandoorne, sending the sport back to the glory Senna-Prost days.
Windsor, who once worked as team manager for Williams, says the talent and styles embodied by the two young drivers is a throwback to Grand Prix racing's legendary foes.
"I'm a big fan of Vandoorne's," Windsor told Dutch magazine Formule 1.
"I see F1 heading for an era like Senna and Prost, but with Verstappen and Vandoorne. Verstappen as the Senna, Vandoorne as the Prost."
While there's no disputing that Max has generated a huge buzz for himself since his arrival in F1 in 2015, he still has way to go before emulating the likes of Senna, while Vandoorne, with only one Grand Prix under his belt, has everything to prove with McLaren this year in his maiden F1 season.
Vandoorne also recently gave an account of himself which offered a few common traits with Prost as well as a few contrasts.
"I am consistent not only in a race but over a full season," said the 24-year-old McLaren-Honda driver.
"Quick without making mistakes. My strength is that I can take an inferior car into the top five."
We would love to see that happen Stoffel...
