“I am better than him as an all-round driver”: Kyle Larson on comparison with F1 driver

Kyle Larson, fresh off his third Knoxville Nationals victory, declared himself a superior all-around driver than Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen. In a post-race press conference, Larson asserted that while he might not prevail in a Formula 1 car, he believes he could outshine Verstappen in other racing disciplines

He added that Verstappen wouldn't be able to emerge victorious in a Sprint car or NASCAR.

“I know in my mind I am better than him as an all-round driver....There’s no way (Verstappen) can get into a Sprint Car and win the Knoxville Nationals. There’s no way he can go win the Chili Bowl. There’s no way he can go win a Cup race at Bristol,” the 32-year-old said.

“There’s probably no way I can go win a Formula 1 race at Monaco, but I think I’d have a better shot at him just because of the car element...That’s what gives me ease and confidence that, like, I know I’m better than him. Maybe not in an open-wheel IndyCar or Formula 1 car, but that’s one discipline. I think I would beat him in everything else," he added.

Larson’s confidence stems from his success in various types of racing. He clinched the NASCAR Cup Series Championship in 2021 and has excelled in numerous dirt track events, including the Kings Royal, Knoxville Nationals, and Chili Bowl Nationals.
