For the first time since 2016, the hopes of success in the world championship of Lewis Hamilton are seriously questioned by the performance of another driver like Max Verstappen; the Dutchman of Red Bull, in fact, is now at the top of the world championship standings five races from the conclusion of the world championship, with 12 points clear of the British. 2021 is therefore reserving an exciting and no holds barred challenge between the two absolute protagonists of this season, capable of conceding little or nothing to the rest of the competition.
For fans and professionals it is therefore very difficult to express a prediction on the name of the future world champion, thanks to the still reduced gap in the ranking and a number of remaining appointments that could reserve surprises and different scenarios. However, there is still one person, very close to one of the two pilots, who has stated with certainty his thoughts on this exciting battle: Jos Verstappen.
The father of Red Bull number 33, interviewed by formulas1.nl, indirectly underlined the work and the results obtained by his son during this season, such as to have complicated the life of Hamilton to reach the goal of his eighth world title: “Without Max – said the former F1 driver – Lewis would already be world champion. Let’s be honest, Max gets the best out of the car, and that’s what makes it spectacular. People want to see this type of driver ”.
In addition to this consideration, Verstappen Sr. finally highlighted the progress of the Honda engine, such as to now have a power that allows the Austrian team to be able to fight more on an equal footing with the major competitors: “We see that now we have a chance – he added – and I believe that we are really ready for the future ”.
