Ronnie O’Sullivan on the GOAT debate in snooker and his career aspirations in F1

Ronnie O’Sullivan, the snooker legend, has once again proven his dominance on the green baize as he looks to secure his eighth World Snooker Championship title. However, despite his incredible success and undeniable talent, O’Sullivan remains humble and insists he is not the greatest snooker player ever.

In a recent interview with the BBC, O’Sullivan acknowledged the achievements of snooker icons Stephen Hendry and Steve Davis, stating that his career has been different from theirs. While Hendry and Davis had a more focused and consistent approach to the sport, O’Sullivan’s career has been marked by ups and downs, both on and off the table.

Despite this, O’Sullivan believes he is ‘one of the greatest’ alongside Hendry and Davis. His longevity in the sport and his ability to bounce back from setbacks have set him apart from his rivals. O’Sullivan’s love for the game and his competitive spirit have driven him to continue playing at the highest level, regardless of where he ranks in the GOAT debate.

Away from the snooker table, O’Sullivan also revealed his passion for motorsport, claiming he could have been a world champion in Formula 1 if he had pursued a career in racing. His confidence and skill behind the wheel mirror his prowess on the snooker table, showcasing his versatility and talent across different disciplines.

As O’Sullivan prepares to close out his match with Jackson Page, fans can expect to witness a masterclass from the Rocket as he continues to write his name in the history books of snooker. Whether he considers himself the greatest or not, there is no denying that Ronnie O’Sullivan is a true legend of the sport.
