Max Verstappen will win his third world title in Formula 1 this year, unless a great miracle happens. The Dutch driver has won 12 of the 10 Grand Prix currently held, while Sergio Perez has only two victories.
Even though the Red Bull drivers are first and second in the championship, Verstappen is a big lead over Checo in the championship. Even in races, the difference is often large. In Belgium, for example, Verstappen started sixth and beat his teammate on lap 17 to secure a comfortable victory.
This is exactly why Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko sees the RB19 as a good car, but attributes the success to Verstappen. “Our superiority comes from Verstappen, not from the RB19,” Marko told Motorsport-Magazin. said.
“Compare him with Perez. Perez is one of the five fastest drivers in terms of race pace. Its weakness is ranking performance.”
“The benchmarks show that Max is on average half a second faster in qualifying, sometimes even 0.6 seconds.”
"It's the same in the race."
“The RB19 is currently the fastest and most complete vehicle. But this superiority of up to half a minute zamthe moment stems from Verstappen.”
Verstappen's performance this season already places him as one of Formula 1's best drivers. The young driver showcases his skills in every race and is cited as one of the favorites to win this year's title.
