Dutch team racer Red Bull has been very much in all races this season strong and except for resignation at the race Grand Prix of Azerbaijan in Baku, due to a rear tire injury, he has not finished any race lower than second place.

Bernie Ecclestone, the former head of Formula 1, notices that it is happening at the top clear shift. In a conversation for German BILD, the Briton was asked if he thought he was Lewis Hamilton still the absolute leader of the Formula One Council. "No, I don't think so at the moment. The top six current racers can beat Lewis and also Max if he has the right race car. It is characteristic of a true champion that he knows how to deal with difficult situations."

In words Ecclestone however, this year's championship is far from decided. “But you can’t write Lewis off under any circumstances. It will be an exciting duel between him and Verstappn. As the best racer in Formula 1, you need not only the best race car, but also some luck. Lewis has had this for many years, but the current fortune is not on his and Mercedes ’side. But I must also admit that Red Bull doing a great job this year," so 90-year-old.

Still British believes in this year’s Dutch champion title. “Yes, absolutely. He can become a champion this year. He is talented and fast, he also needs a little luck and a better race car. How important this can be for a racer, we saw last season with George Russell in Bahrain when he replaced Lewis Hamilton and the victory escaped him only because he had problems. Nobody expected that."
