In the waning phase of his long career in Formula 1, Felipe Massa he compared himself on the track with the rising star of the category, that Max Verstappen who in his seventh season is competing for the world title against Lewis Hamilton. The challenge between the Dutch Red Bull and the British Mercedes is thrilling fans and professionals and Massa has clear ideas about who to support in this sprint: “We are witnessing a very exciting championship, with a fight between two riders and two teams. Let’s hope it can be a struggle until the last corner of the last race, as happened to me in 2008. My favorite is Verstappen, because it is important for a new driver to win. I don’t like seeing the same win over and over again. Hamilton deserves this success and is an incredible driver, but I support Verstappen. This year has a great opportunity ”.
The former Ferrari driver also praised the Dutchman’s mentality: “Pressure is part of Formula 1, it’s always there. And he has to endure the former as much as the latter, but I think Max is a rider who manages the pressure well. Until the end of Hamilton’s career there will be a great rivalry between two“. In the interview granted to the Spaniards of As, Massa also spoke about his old teammate Fernando Alonso: “For him the return was a bit difficult in the first few races, but then he went back to being the Fernando we knew. He’s not driving a winning car, but he’s doing a very important job. He has consistency, speed and is putting on a show“, Concluded the Brazilian.
