Red Bull’s recent dominance comes after a sustained period of success for Lewis Ham♏ilton and Mercedes.

Before that, Vettel and Red Bull won four consecutive titles, while 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Schumacher won five in a row in the early 2000s.

Massa - who raced in F1 b🤪etween 2002 and 2017 - thinks F1 is in the ‘Verstappen era’.

“Max has become world champion in the past two years,” he told Bild

“🧸I don't see any reason why he can't go for the hat-trick. Much more. M🧸ax can also win four, five or six titles in a row. 

“M🥂ax makes no mistakes and Red Bull wor♛ks perfectly.”

Mas🤡sa likened Verstappen to a “robot”, stating that his two title triumphs in 2021 and 2022 “have made him even better”.

"At the moment, yes. Ma🌳x makes no mistakes, he drives like a robot. He is extremely mature for his age,” he added⛄. “The two titles have made him even better."

"He is now a lot more relaxed and less stubborn. Next year the title race can however look different if Mercedes regain their old form. That is൩ the charm of Formula 1. After 2026, the cards will also be shuffled again."
