Re: Verstappen with Red Bull until 2020.
Max just speaks about the chances of him going to a team that clearly have their number 1 driver. Hamilton at Mercedes, Vettel at Ferrari. The team does not want to risk that by bringing in Max. Max doesn't care who is teammate is. He knows he will outperform them. Hamilton at the moment is the only...

Voted Technically Illegal

Re: Verstappen with Red Bull until 2020.
Don't get me wrong but Sainz was number 2 when he was in the team with Max. Red Bull got the date of their drivers and Max crushed those numbers before he even drove their car. Horner said so in an interview. Marko is a fan which makes it very difficult for the other drivers to be above Max. He also...

Re: In my opinion Max very well may be the best driver

Kimi was the only one of the three who kept a straight trajectory even if it was probably too close to Verstappen line to start with so say 5% blame.
