Two-time F1 world champion Max Verstappen is taking into account two-time F1 world champion Fernando Alonso for next year.
Max Emilian Verstappen is about to win his second F1 title. It will probably happen soon in the Far East. It is a ridiculous success for the Dutchman, for whom the second title comes in a lot easier than the first. Yet it is not just said that MV1 will now remain MV1 forever. For that, our hero only has to look at grid mate Fernando Alonso.
The Spaniard won two titles in 2005 and 2006, when he was about the same age as Max is now. Then the success dried up. The eyebrow came close to a title twice more in 2010 and 2012. But the last win will be ten years old next year. Can Max also end up like this? You can hardly imagine it, but could we imagine that Alonso would never become champion again after 2006, or Vettel after 2013?
In any case, Max keeps in mind that he will have more competition for the title next year. After all, that is also the intention of Liberty Media and the ‘levelling’ that they are aiming for in the new Concorde Agreement. Max Verstappen also takes into account…Fernando Alonso!
We know that ALO and VER get along well. ALO once admitted that during his stint outside F1, he only looked for Verstappen and Russell. Max himself still has a high regard for the Spaniard as a driver, despite his age. Our hero also sees the potential in the Aston Martin team, which he says ‘attracts good people’. Bee Formula Passion says Max:
Aston Martin is a team aiming for the top of F1. It takes a lot of people, so I understand Fernando’s choice to go there, to get better results. I think it’s an interesting challenge, so I’ll pay attention to that next year.
Max Verstappen, likes team green
It now sounds like an unlikely scenario. But who knows… If those rules work a bit, we might see a duel between two two-time champions.
