Max Verstappen has a certain two-time world champion firmly in his corner!
Fernando Alonso has expressed his support for Max Verstappen in the F1 drivers’ title race if it comes down to the final race in Abu Dhabi. Verstappen’s strong performance since Red Bull introduced a new floor at the Italian GP has put him back in contention for the championship. Many anticipate that the title showdown will take place in December at the Yas Marina Circuit, a scenario that hasn’t occurred since 2021 when Verstappen and Hamilton battled on the last lap. Verstappen’s ability to excel in pressure situations and extract maximum performance from the car makes him a formidable opponent, according to Alonso. With Verstappen’s experience in fighting for and winning titles in the final round, Alonso believes he could be the one to watch if the points are close at the end of the season. Verstappen’s track record of success, regardless of the car’s performance, highlights his talent and potential to secure another championship victory like in 2021 when he triumphed in Abu Dhabi despite having a slightly inferior car.
