Max Verstappen makes Mercedes prediction over Red Bull’s F1 pace with Renault swipe

Red Bull driver Max Verstappen gives a reason for fans to be optimistic next season. Verstappen thinks, Red Bull’s engine partners Honda had a breakthrough year in 2019 which could put the Austrians firmly the mix next year. He said: “I think we are on the right path. When you see the engine power compared to Mercedes and Renault, we are very close to Mercedes now so that is very promising for next year.” The 22-year-old driver is keen to close the gap on Mercedes and end the dominance of Lewis Hamilton. Verstappen said: “It’s getting a bit boring seeing Lewis win, so we have to try and change that. It’s just going to depend on the team, to be honest. It’s not going to depend on Lewis. If Mercedes keeps building really dominant cars, for sure he’s going to win. So we just have to make sure as a team that we can beat them.” Source- Express
