I'm sure there was someone like you saying the same thing about Hamilton when he was starting out. Same about Alonso before he dethroned Shumacher.
As far as the new crop of drivers are concerned, Verstappen is head and shoulders above the rest, in the same way I knew Hamilton was when he started out.
I think the dig at MB fans is the few who proclaimed that Verstappen was nothing special at all. I don't know if you were one of them but whoever they are, they are certainly eating crow right now.
