Verstappen is fast but early days he went off the track far too often.
Crashing pre qualifying at Monaco...hitting Ocon etc.
These are all mistakes he should not have made and cost him wins.
The difference between a fast driver and a great driver is the ability to consistently drive at the limit without chucking it off the track on a regular basis.
Verstappen is fast but not great.

I agree Max made too many mistakes in the beginning and he could have more wins than he does. Also say he started F1 when he was 17 and Hamilton when he was 22? At the next race, like virtually every race in the last few years it is MB's race to lose unless something out of the ordinary happens or they screw up. If Hamilton and Max were to flip cars there is a chance Hamilton would have done better than Max did but Max suddenly would have a lot more wins than he does now. So many races the "race" is really over about 20 seconds after the lights go out. Then I do a rain dance or hope MB's screws up to make it an actual race.
I don't think anyone can prove that at this point in time that Hamilton is better than Max and one of the big problems with the competition is the car plays a major part of it.
