Abstract: Let mathbbF be the finite field of order q2, q=ph with p prime. It is commonly atribute to J.P. Serre the fact that any curve mathbbF-covered by the Hermitian curve mathcalHq+1:,yq+1=xq+x is also mathbbF-maximal. Nevertheless, the converse is not true as the Giulietti-Korchm'aros example shows provided that q>8 and hequiv0pmod3. In this paper, we show that if an mathbbF-maximal curve mathcalX of genus ggeq2 where q=p is such that |Aut(mathcalX)|>84(g1) then mathcalX is Galois-covered by mathcalHp+1. Also, we show that the hypothesis on the order of Aut(mathcalX) is sharp, since there exists an mathbbF-maximal curve mathcalX for q=71 of genus g=7 with |Aut(mathcalX)|=84(71) which is not Galois-covered by the Hermitian curve mathcalH72.
