F1 team boss shows no hesitation in Max Verstappen title win prediction
Sauber (and future Audi) team principal, Jonathan Wheatley, confidently predicts Max Verstappen will win the title at the upcoming Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, based on Verstappen’s strong performance and consistency in the latter half of the season, including wins in Monza, Baku, Austin, Las Vegas, and Qatar. A strategic mistake by McLaren in Qatar has further boosted Verstappen’s chances in the championship battle with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. Wheatley praised Verstappen’s flawless race in Qatar and highlighted the exciting three-way battle for the title. He also commended Red Bull’s strategic team, led by Hannah Schmitz, expressing confidence in Max’s ability to clinch the championship.
