L’article dont il s’agit :
Aug.8 – There are « seven or eight drivers » who could also win the world championship at the wheel of Max Verstappen’s Red Bull.
That is the view of former Formula 1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya, who was asked about Dutchman Verstappen’s utter dominance this year – including over his own teammate Sergio Pérez.
« In Belgium he put 22 seconds on Perez who races with the same car, » said former F1 team owner and boss Gian Carlo Minardi.
« He is easily beating Checo, as he did with all those other poor guys who found themselves in his team, » he told La Repubblica newspaper.
« Yes, the Red Bull is very powerful, but it’s his ability to drive it that makes it unbeatable, » said Minardi. « There’s him and then all the others who share the crumbs.
« If Max didn’t exist, F1 would be a more balanced and spectacular fight. »
Colombian Montoya, however, is less convinced that Verstappen is any more dominant at present than Lewis Hamilton was during Mercedes’ recent reign.
« Right now, Max is doing a very good job, » he told the Colombian weekly Semana. « But he looks just as invincible as when Hamilton was winning everything. That’s the reality.
« Max is a very good driver, » the 47-year-old, who won 7 grands prix in his F1 career, added. « But he’s in the best car.
« His speed right now is no better than his speed two years ago. It’s probably the same. It’s the car that is much better.
« If you take Max out of that car, there are seven or eight drivers who could be world champion in that car. If he wasn’t there, Checo, Hamilton, Sainz, Leclerc, Norris – they’d be world champion.
« In motorsport, it’s about timing. With these rules, the Red Bull is the best car. If the rules then change suddenly, it might not be. »
But Montoya poked fun at seven time world champion Hamilton’s recent suggestion that F1 should indeed change the rules in order to stop the current one-sided competition.
« Very cool, » he said sarcastically. « Complaining when you’re not winning, but when he was winning, he said that the car had no advantage. But the advantage that Mercedes had was just as great.
« I don’t want to say that Hamilton isn’t good – he’s a great driver. But the reality of this sport is that you have to be in the best car. »
Finally, Montoya said he has « no idea » about the health status of his former rival Michael Schumacher – and said Michael’s brother Ralf was his « worst teammate » in his career.
« It was the worst relationship because there was no relationship, » he said. « We laugh about it and talk about it now, but at the time it was hilarious. »
