Red Bull’s Max Verstappen says the 2023 title is as good Lewis Hamilton’s as it is his. The Dutchman is not overlooking the ability of the top teams and drivers to compete against Red Bull.The 25-year-old dominated in 2022 with 454 points and a 146 gap to Charles Leclerc in P2. He also broke the record for most wins in a single season, with 15. It’s safe to say Verstappen dominated the 2022 season.
However he spoke exclusively to Sky Sports at the RB19 launch in New York and said how he thinks it’s fair game this year. Verstappen highlighted Hamilton’s chances next year as well as the chances of other drivers from top teams. “He’s [Lewis Hamilton] been one of the greatest drivers ever in the sport, so for sure if he has the car to do it, he can fight for the title again,” said Verstappen of Hamilton.
“But that’s the same for George [Russell, Hamilton’s team-mate]. it’s the same for Charles [Leclerc, Ferrari], it’s the same for Lando [Norris, McLaren] – if you give them the car that’s capable of winning the championship, they can.”“That’s a bit of a different pressure you have but I’m confident once these guys get onto a roll like that it is all possible, they all have talent to do so.”“You always try to go for it, but I don’t know if we’re going to be good enough.
