“The best thing would be if they were driving the same car,” Jos Verstappen said. “Then you can really compare who is the best. I would only applaud it, I think it would be a very nice season. I think the whole world is waiting for that.”
“It’s the same as what I say about Max: he’s incredibly strong. Even if you look at how he fares against his teammate,” he continued.
“At Mercedes, it really worked out for Hamilton. At McLaren, he had a few years in which it didn’t work. You don’t become a world champion if you don’t have a champion team and champion car.”
Having said that, it is highly unlikely that Lewis and Max could team up alongside each other in the near future. With George Russell hanging around outside Mercedes, he could join the team as the successor to either Valtteri Bottas or Lewis Hamilton.
