Former Formula 1 driver Sebastian Vettel has named Max Verstappen as his top pick for the 2024 World Championship title. According to the ex-Red Bull racer, Verstappen, hailing from Limburg, is ‘so hardened and so self-confident’ that he has what it takes to secure his fourth championship even without having the most dominant car on the grid. Furthermore, he notes that Lando Norris is not achieving victory with the same ease at every race anymore.
A Thrilling Championship Battle
The title contest between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris is intensifying as the season’s final races approach. The British driver has been narrowing the gap in the Drivers’ Championship, pulling his deficit down to just 47 points. However, Vettel is skeptical about Norris’s chances of overtaking Verstappen.
“As much as I’d love to witness a genuinely thrilling race until the end, I believe Max is currently so tough and self-assured in his driving,” Vettel stated when interviewed by Sky Germany. “We rarely observe errors on his part.”
Resilience Amid Challenges
Since the Chinese Grand Prix, Verstappen has been grappling with issues related to his RB20 car, but Vettel asserts that this will not give Norris an advantage. “Even though his vehicle might not be performing as impressively as it did earlier in the season, I still consider him the favorite,” the four-time world champion explains. “I believe he remains strong enough to consistently earn adequate points. Furthermore, Lando is no longer in a position to win every race with such ease.”
The Undeniable Front-Runner
Vettel emphasizes that the favoritism in this championship fight clearly leans towards Verstappen. “So, I would assert that the mantle of favorite undoubtedly belongs to Max. But as an independent observer, I hope that the contest tightens,” he added. Meanwhile, McLaren has taken over Red Bull in the Constructors’ Championship standings, currently leading with a margin of 29 points over Ferrari, who sits in second place. This shift illustrates the dynamic nature of the sport and adds layers of intrigue to the title battles.
Looking Ahead to the Brazilian GP
As the competition heats up, all eyes are set on the upcoming races, especially the GP São Paulo in Brazil, where fans eagerly anticipate how the clash between Verstappen and Norris will unfold. Both drivers have displayed remarkable skills this season, and the outcome could hinge on a number of unpredictable factors.
As the situation develops, fans and analysts alike are tuning in to witness what could potentially be a historic season in Formula 1. With both emerging talents and seasoned veterans vying for the championship, the question remains—who will ultimately claim the coveted title? The final races promise not .comy excitement but also the potential for surprises that could change the landscape of this thrilling sport.
