Verstappen’s Reign in F1: Hakkinen Identifies the Only Challengers Able to Stop Him

P1racenews AI automatic summary:


Max Verstappen has been on a victory run over the last couple of races, but two-time Formula 1 World Champion Mika Häkkinen believes there is only two drivers that could stop him.

Last year, Red Bull did not win the Brazilian Grand Prix, as George Russell secured Mercedes’ only victory of the season. However, this year, Red Bull has dominated, winning every race except the Singapore GP, with Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez achieving a combined total of 18 wins. Two-time World Champion Mika Hakkinen believes that only Lewis Hamilton or Lando Norris have the potential to challenge Verstappen in this weekend’s race. Verstappen aims to break Alberto Ascari’s win percentage record of 77.27% that has stood for 71 years if he wins on Sunday. Hakkinen praises Verstappen’s exceptional performance, as he has proven capable of starting from a low grid position and still winning comfortably. Despite having won as many races in a single season as Hakkinen did during his championship-winning years, Verstappen’s consistent performance and ability to maximize the car’s potential make him stand out.
