Max Verstappen reckons any of the top drivers could have won the F1 title this season if they were racing in Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes.
Speaking to Formula 1, he said: ”I think Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, Daniel Ricciardo and I could just as easily be champion with such a car.
“When I see onboard images, I think Mercedes has not even gone full throttle in many races.”
“When I think of my own career, it is not convenient to sit next to Hamilton or Vettel right now,” he said. “Although I would absolutely do it if I had no other choice.
“I believe that with Red Bull I can also become champion, as long as we have the right package together.”
