Lewis Hamilton believes that Max Verstappen and Red Bull will be tough competitors in Formula 1 next season, as they likely began developing their 2025 car earlier than others. Red Bull has faced challenges in defending their constructors’ championship this year due to Perez’s struggles. Despite this, starting the season strongly has allowed Mercedes to focus on future plans, potentially giving Red Bull an advantage for next year. Verstappen’s consecutive drivers’ titles place him among F1’s greats, earning Hamilton’s praise despite the fierce competition. If Verstappen can continue this success into next year, he could match Schumacher’s legendary achievements and surpass Hamilton’s own dominance.
