What would be the ideal Formula 1 lineup? The ‘Dream Team’ with two drivers and a team leader? That’s what they asked max verstappen and the two-time Formula 1 champion has chosen Fernando Alonso and Lando Norris.
Of course, Verstappen had the intention of placing himself in the lineup, but the interviewer of ‘Mobil 1 The Grid’ did not allow it: “Do I have to choose between the current grid or can I choose anyone? And it has to be without me, of course because I can’t be team manager and also a driver, right?” So the Red Bull man has chosen Alonso and Norris.
“I find it really difficult, because I think there are many very good pilots“He commented, although making it clear that he would mix experience and youth.
“I think I’d probably go for an experienced pilot, so I’d go with Fernando; later, he would sign a young guy, and he would put Lando in the car. Yes, Fernando and Lando,” she says.
Regarding the team leader, Verstappen is clear that he would stay with Christian Horner, current Red Bull team boss: “I would always stay with Christian.”
they were never partners
In the McLaren days, Norris was a test driver with Alonso in the team, first sharing the box with Jenson Button and later with Stoffel Vandoorne. Therefore, the ‘Dram Team’ that Verstappen wished for has not come to fruition on the Formula 1 grid. It was in 2019 that Norris became McLaren’s starting driver.
