According to Berger, Verstappen will be Formula 1 world champion this year
Gerhard Berger guesses Max Verstappen as the new Formula 1 world champion. “He is ripe for the title because he has the skills, the speed and the right tools for it,” said the 61-year-old Tyrolean of “Sport Bild” (Wednesday). “Honda has almost caught up with the engine output of Mercedes. Adrian Newey has built a very fast car for the Red Bull team that is very good right away,” said the ex-Formula 1 driver and current DTM Boss.
Defending champion Lewis Hamilton is often one step ahead of the Dutchman. “But I'm sure that Max will pull himself up on it and that he is capable of extreme performance,” emphasized Berger.
