Verstappen (pictured) was 104 points off the world championship pace, but he will head to this weekend's season finale in Abu Dhabi only 12 points behind Lando Norris.

McLaren CEO Brown made the comparison about Verstappen prior to the Qatar Grand Prix where a strategy blunder gift-wrapped the Dutchman his fifth win in eight races.
