F1 | Verstappen: “Only 60% of drivers can win the title with Mercedes”
"Not everyone could do it"
This is the opinion of the Dutch driver on whom many are ready to bet that he will give Lewis Hamilton a hard time for the 2020 title.
Several times Max Verstappen, while admitting that the six-time world champion is the better driver, has stated that a lot depends on the car:
“60 percent of the drivers in Formula 1 could win the championship in a Mercedes. But not all 20 drivers could do it", the 22-year-old declared to Ziggo Sport, including Lando Norris in this percentage.
And the remaining 40%? Verstappen had no problem answering and when the interviewer gave him a list of names of those who couldn't win with Mercedes (Giovinazzi, Stroll, Kubica, Kvyat, Gasly and Grosjean), the Dutchman interrupted him saying: “Yes, you said it right”.
Regarding his teammate Alex Albon however, Max limited himself to saying with a laugh:
“I won't answer that question.”
