In the Japanese Grand Prixhonda house, Max Verstappen was crowned two-time world champion Formula 1 With four races to go.
In fact, the Dutchman has 14 wins out of 20 Grands Prix that have been held to date, and he can finish the season crowning himself as one of the drivers with the best percentage of races won (it is at 70%), in addition to being the one who has won the most races in a season.
In an interview in ‘De Telegraaf’, to Fernando Alonso they asked him if Verstappen will be able to equal the seven titles of Michael Schumacher Y Lewis Hamiltonthose who have the most in the queen category.
The Spaniard, also two-time F1 champion, has highlighted the level and performance of ‘Mad Max’, but he is well aware -from his own experience- that a great driver has to be accompanied by a great car to chain World Cups.
“It will be difficult for him to reach the seven titles of Lewis and ‘Schumi’. Certainly Max has the talent to get there, but you have to have a car that is very competitive for many years.”
“And you never have that guarantee. Now it’s easy. Everything points to Red Bull dominating in the next few years, but we don’t know for sure. Let’s see if Max has that luck“, has added.
This reflection comes in parallel to a striking proposal that Alonso has made to Verstappen: being teammates at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
