Ex-F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone believes 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc has more chance of winning this year’s title over new teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton.

With the technical regulations remaining stable in the winter, many ♉expect the battle at the front to be tighter than ever.

Based on F1 pre-season testing, McLaren appear to be the team to beat he🌠ading into the season-opening Australian Grand Prix.

Ferrari’s true potential is still unknown after Hamilton could not complete a race simulation on the final day due to an “anom𝕴aly”.

Ferrari narrowly missed out on last year’s F1 constructors’ ch♏ampionship by 14 points.

However, Hamilton’s arrival has only increased the hype and optimism at Maran🌳ello.

Ecclestone, who was previously F1 CEO for 🌟over 40 years, sees Leclerc as Ferrari’s best bet at winning the t🔴itle.

“He’s [Leclerc] been there all the way through so they are hardly going to dump him ꦉfor Lewis🏅.

“I’m not saying Lewis isn’t possible, j෴ust that they will not stop looking after and hoping L🀅eclerc’s going to get the job done.”

Ecclestone still backs Verstappen

Heading into the new season, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen is the reigning champion.

Verstappen has won the last four cons🍷ecutive F1 titles, with last year arguab🐈ly being his most impressive.

After win🔯ning 7 of the opening 10 races, Verstappen won just two of the 💙remaining 14.

Even though Red ൩Bull were struggling for form, Verstappen remained consistent to get𓆉 over the line.

As a result, Ecclestone is still backing Ve🅠rstappen for the title.

“I🦩 still think Max will win,” he 🎀said. “There’s no reason why he shouldn’t. If he’s got the equipment, obviously there’d be no discussion about him. It would be a definite.

“If the car’s up to it, he’ll get the job done.”
