Mercedes and Ferrari snubbed as Max Verstappen names rival F1 team with ‘best driver line-up’
The Red Bull driver dominated the Qatar Gran𓄧d Prix to notch up his 14th victory from 17 races this season on 🗹a weekend he also clinched his third world title.
Verstappen was crowned after a second-place finish behind Piastri in Saturday’s sprint race, before cruising to his latest ꦏwin in the grand prix.
Piastri took runner-up spot ahead of teammat📖e Norris as a rejuvenated McLaren celebrated their second double podium in as many days.
And Verstappen considers the McLaren duo to be a stronger pairing than the likes of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell at Mercedes, or Ferrari’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz.
“I do think that as a team they are probably the most consistent,🃏 compared to the others behind us,” Verstappen said when asked if he feels🐓 McLaren are now Red Bull’s closest challengers.
“And I do think they ha🧸ve the🍃 best driver line-up out of all of them.
“So y🦩eah, they are operating really well. And, yeah, it's going to be꧋ interesting to the end of the year, but also I think the start of next year to see where everyone is at.”
The Dutchman added: “I do think we had a bit more pace in hand if we really needed it but ♔nevertheless, I don'tꦰ want to take anything away from McLaren.
“They've been doing a great job and from us, we see that they are getting closer and closer. So we have to try and oꦰf course mai𒊎ntain a bit of a gap.”
