Nico Rosberg has a little idea of how the end of the season will turn out
The 2016 world champion, Nico Rosberg, gives his opinion on the battle for the world title between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen this season.
Who will emerge victorious from the ongoing duel between the Hamilton/Mercedes tandem and Verstappen/Red Bull, which has been going on since the first round of the championship? Nico Rosberg shared his opinion on the matter with Sky Sports. The German acknowledges the qualities of his former garage neighbor at Mercedes but is impressed by Max Verstappen.
« Usually I would lean towards Lewis. He has a lot of experience and he always wins. He is incredibly difficult to beat and I think he is still capable of doing this kind of thing. However, Max is a giant right now. But what’s crazy is that both cars are exactly the same, the drivers too, they are in a whole other league. No one can keep up with them, it’s probably the highest level in the entire history of F1. It’s going to be very close in the final races and a lot of things are going to happen ».
After winning the Austin Grand Prix for the first time in his career, Verstappen has a twelve-point lead over Hamilton in the championship with five races left to go.
