'Red Bull is less sensitve to the psychological war than Mercedes'

Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton are fighting for the world title this season, and with that the comparison with previous rivalries in Formula 1 is never far away. Gerhard Berger compares the current battle with that of Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost.

Berger was Senna's teammate at McLaren for three years after Prost made the move to Ferrari. Prost and Senna became too big rivals to keep within one team, and that battle is what Berger sees happening again now. ''That's happening now too, at the same level,'' the Austrian said to Speedweek.com.

That Verstappen has now lost many points in the last two races says little according to Berger. ''There is no point in starting to calculate your points. In this sport you have a good series, or you don't. You just have to deal with that. You'll just have to deal with that'', concludes the DTM chief.
