Nico Rosberg, summarizing last season’s results on the broadcast of German TV channel Sport1, suggested that only Lewis Hamilton could resist Max Verstappen next year.
The Dutch driver of Red Bull Racing confidently won his second title with a record 15 wins, just a few stages before the end of the championship. If Charles Leclerc, a Ferrari driver, has been his main rival for the past year, then according to Rosberg it is likely that the seven-time world champion will return to the ranks of title contenders next season.
“15 wins in a season is an incredible achievement. With such statistics, Max will become the most formidable force in Formula 1, believes the 2016 world champion. – Who can stop him? I would say only Hamilton is able to perform at his level if they have the same speed capabilities of the car. In any case, Verstappen is now showing simply fantastic results.
The riders who were his teammates in recent years, the same Pierre Gasly and Sergio Perez, do not even reach half of Verstappen’s talent in terms of level. I have no doubt that he will be one of the top five drivers of all time. I think it’s time to include him in the same list that already includes Senna, Schumacher and Hamilton.”
