Jaime Alguersuari, former RedBull driver from 2009 to 2011, spoke about the Austrian team's dominance in recent years and their main driver, Max Verstappen. The 33-year-old, who already works as a DJ, said that at RedBull it is an obligation to win, while as far as the Dutch pilot is concerned, he added that he is like a robot. Further, the Spaniard underlined that the real star is Adrian Newey, the technical chief of the Austrians.

"Like in the past when Schumacher, Vettel and Hamilton dominated, now is Verstappen's time. In the world of Formula 1 something like this is inevitable because often the best car also has the best driver.

But let me say that the real star at RedBull is Adrian Newey. It's unbelievable how that gentleman continues to make the best car. For me RedBulli is the best Scuderia in the history of Formula 1 because they don't make any mistakes, everything goes well. RedBull's strategies, changes, mechanics are the best. Having a winning team is very important, the car alone is not enough.

Is Verstappen better than Hamilton and Alonso? It's hard to say, I mentioned a bit above, the best car often goes to the best driver and then everything goes perfectly. For Verstappen at the moment it is very easy.

All of us who have moved to RedBull have learned that we must win. Either win or "die". This is the school of Red Bull, it's a matter of survival. Then Verstappen also has his father who "forces" him to win. Verstappen has become like a robot, he does not feel pleasure. It is always within the limits of a perfect pilot, but this is how they "cooked" it.

I know very well, father did not advise Verstappen when he was a child not to win in Go-Cart races. He used violence, something like that doesn't happen nowadays. I would never act this way with my son, but it has worked for them. Max has grown up with discipline, and at RedBull they really want that," said Jaime Alguersuari.
