Marc Marquez being asked about who he identifies with the most in the F1 paddock while attending the Barcelona F1 weekend : "I would like to say Fernando Alonso but obviously, everything that Fernando has meant for Formula 1 in Spain is something impressive. I've shared moments with Carlos Sainz, he's not missing talent. Simply, we're in a world where the athlete, in this case the rider/driver, not only depends on himself but also the car / the bike, the infrastructure, and everything has to add up. The one [driver] that I like, for the claw, the things he gives on track, is Max Verstappen. He's a beast. I grew up with him, we're from the same generation. I remember being a kid and watching Fernando Alonso and now, the Verstappen generation I identify with."
