“It's going to be a fight in this tough championship and that's fantastic for Formula 1. With Hamilton and Verstappen you have two drivers at very different stages of their careers, fighting with cars of similar performance », He explains.
The seven-time world champion and the young challenger could continue to lead a long-term season (23 Grands Prix), especially since the teams are not going to linger on the development of the current single-seaters...
“This duel has all the hallmarks of a titanic battle, not least because I don't think the teams will be able to devote many resources to this year's car with the 2022 car in the works, continues Ross Brawn.
