That could be down to a lot of reason but the most important has to be because of the talent we have on show. There has been a breed of youngsters who have come through the ranks, shown tremendous amount of talent and have been fearless.

The British manager in an interview said: “underlined the large presence of promising champions, some of them better suited, from his point of view, to soon enter the roll of honor of Formula 1.”

Max Verstappen has set an example for this breed of drivers. He has been able to instill that sense of confidence in them that this could be done and more drivers can soon join him at the top to compete for the biggest prize of them all.

Christian Horner had heaps of praises for the lot. He said, “Max, of course, is only 24 years – he commented – but he has an entire generation around him who are of a similar age, and who will be able to join him between now and the next ten years: drivers like Charles Leclerc, George Russell , in Mercedes this year, without forgetting Carlos Sainz and Lando Norris , with the latter looking very interesting.”

I think it’s great for the sport, as well as the competition. It will be exciting to see how it develops ” as reported by Formula Passion.
