The CEO of the company that owns Formula 1 admits it is becoming hard for the sport to sell Max Verstappen's utter dominance this year.

With Red Bull winning every race so far this year, and Verstappen on a record-breaking 10-race winning streak and counting, F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali said recently it's the "right moment" to stop and celebrate the Dutch driver's lasting "legacy. If someone is great, we need to celebrate what they're doing."

Greg Maffei, Domenicali's boss as the CEO of Liberty Media, told a people at a recent event organized by Goldman Sachs that he backs that approach... for now.
