Athletistic/ Formula 1. Former Formula 1 driver Mika Hakkinen has shared his thoughts on the rivalry between Red Bull and Ferrari this season.

“If we only take into account the races where Verstappen finished, then we see that the Red Bull car is clearly faster. On the straights their cars are much faster than the others. Ferrari needs updates if she doesn’t want to lose Red Bull “the problem is only reliability, and if you fix that, it will become very difficult for opponents,” Hakkinen said.

Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc currently leads the overall standings, 19 points ahead of Max Verstappen.
